Can anyone give me a list of diseases Veterinarians work with?

Answer 1

there are 100s of diseases that vets have to see and diagnose your best bet would be to get a book explaining animal diseases

Answer 2

No, cause the list fills up a book that's over 1000 pages long. Look in the library for Veterinarians Desk reference.

By the way, if you think becoming a practitioner of the medical arts, veterinary or not is answerable in this forum, you're in for a big shock if this is what you are planning on doing.

Undertaking medical studies requires long hours of study and cross referencing, not asking for a list on Yahoo Answers.

Answer 3

It would be a very long list! Animals are prone to lots and lots of diseases, and vets have to work with the sick animals.

Some that immediately come to mind include rabies, lyme disease, and cancer.

Answer 4

Cancer
Arthritis
Rheumatism
Dental Problems - gums
Heart disease
Anemia
Auto-Immune disease
Ear-Infections
General infections
Colitis
and more I'm sure


Conditions: (not diseases)

Sprains
Broken bones
Diarrhea
