The PROFESSION – the VETERINARIAN

We congratulate workers of veterinary medicine on a professional holiday!

Veterinary science – a science ancient. A profession of the doctor curing animals, one of the most humane in the world. Doctors of our "canine friends" should possess special, almost absolute compassion and kindness. Because dumb animals can’t tell about the diseases, be indignant in case of unsuccessful treatment.

Actually, the word "veterinarian" in a translation into Russian means treating cattle. Since ancient times since the person cultivated animals, there was a need to watch a condition of their health. In Ancient Egypt there was the educational institution preparing experts, treating animals. Papyruses, which more than three thousand years, with the description of diseases of cattle and methods of their doctoring remained. Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome had the veterinary services. Veterinarians accompanied armies in campaigns. The Roman army even suited infirmaries for wounded horses.

 In the Crimea the position vetvracha was entered for the first time in 1899. This expert supervised a cattle face on slaughter-houses and work of points of insemination. In 1925 the veterinary management of the Crimea which structure included 40 veterinary sites and 45 points in which 60 doctors and 51 medical assistants worked was created.

Today the veterinary service of the Crimea serves the 1175th settlement, in a veterinary network 708 doctors work.

Today this profession except direct treatment of animals includes a set of the various directions. By and large from that, it is how well organized in the country vetsluzhba health of her citizens depends.
