Equine

Equine veterinarians are responsible for preventative health care as well as treatment of diseases and injuries in horses. An equine veterinarian’s job can vary from administering vaccines against disease, to treating wounds and lameness, assisting delivery of a foal and even performing surgery. Equine veterinarians may specialize in a specific area of horse health care. Similar to human medicine, equine veterinary specialties include surgery, internal medicine, orthopedics, theriogenology (reproduction), ophthalmology and many others.
