Veterinary medicine is concerned with animal health. A wide range of diseases and conditions occur in animals, such as biliary fever, epilepsy, leucosis, pneumonia, myopia, obesity, subvalvular aortic stenosis, hip dislocation, impaction, etc. Animals are also susceptible to a number of parasitic diseases, such as feline zoonoses, fasciolosis, filariasis, proliferative kidney disease, whirled disease, etc. Animals may be vaccinated to prevent the occurrence of many of these diseases, using anthrax vaccine, brucellosis vaccine, rabies vaccine, DA2PPC vaccine, clostridium vaccine, etc. Veterinarians use several diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, X-ray, ECG, pulse oximeter, etc. They also use novel therapeutic techniques to improve the health of animals. Animal drugs such as sedatives, antiemetics, analgesics, bronchodilators, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, histamine blockers, etc. may be prescribed by veterinarians depending on the underlying pathology. Orthopedic surgery, soft tissue surgery and neurosurgery may also be performed on an animal.
