1. Diagnosis: Veterinarians conduct comprehensive physical examinations and laboratory tests for animals suffering from different diseases to determine the symptoms and causes of the condition. This requires them to be well versed in the physiology, pathology, breeding and nutrition of a variety of animals, as well as the skillful use of a variety of testing equipment and techniques.
2. Treatment: Once the cause of an animal's disease is determined, the veterinarian will formulate a treatment plan based on the animal's condition and provide it with appropriate medication, surgery, physical therapy and other methods to make it recover as soon as possible. This requires that the veterinarian has good medical skills and experience and can develop an effective treatment plan.
3. Prevention: Besides treating diseases, another key responsibility of veterinarians is to prevent diseases. They will provide animals with preventive vaccines, medications and health care techniques through various means to prevent the spread and propagation of animal diseases and to safeguard human and animal safety and environmental health. Disease prevention is often closely linked to individual health and public **** health risks, and veterinarians need to analyze and proactively engage in public **** health and disease prevention and control with respect to environmental, market, political and social factors.

In summary, the work of veterinarians centers on protecting and promoting the health and welfare of animals while contributing to the promotion of human health and public **** health.
