Question

B. zoonotic
C. pet animal
D. transmission of

Answer 1

Veterinary medicine may have been established as a specialty as early as 2000 BC in Babylonia and Egypt. An Egyptian document dated around 1800 BC contains descriptions of treatments for cattle, dogs, birds, and fish. Because these ancient cultures considered the animals sacred, the practice of veterinary science was often limited to external observations only. It was not until the time of the Greeks, 1,000 years later, that the practice of veterinary medicine became a science based on experimentation and observation.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, veterinary science went into a sharp decline. For the next 1,300 years, the care of animals was generally left to farriers, or horseshoers. In the 18th century, when a disease called rinderpest decimated herds of European cattle, colleges of veterinary medicine began to arise in Europe and, later, elsewhere.
