Overview
Veterinary medicine is the branch of medical science concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of disease and injury in animals, encompassing companion animals, livestock, wildlife, and laboratory species. It addresses animal health and welfare while also intersecting with public health, food safety, and zoonotic disease control, since many infections can pass between animals and humans. The discipline draws on fields such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, surgery, pathology, microbiology, and anesthesiology, and applies them across diverse species whose biology and clinical needs differ considerably. Research published in this journal illustrates this breadth, with studies in companion-animal oncology such as canine mammary and bone tumors and osteosarcoma, comparative surgical and anesthetic techniques in dogs and cats, and regenerative approaches to bone healing in laboratory animals. Other contributions examine infectious and microbiological problems, including dermatophyte infections in cats and dogs, antimicrobial resistance in poultry pathogens, and vaccination responses in calves, alongside work on parasitology, toxicology, and animal physiology. Themes such as antimicrobial resistance, diagnostic methods, and zoonotic potential connect veterinary practice to wider human and food-animal health. Across these areas, the field aims to advance evidence-based care, reduce animal suffering, support agricultural productivity, and protect the shared health of animals and people.
