Zoo Medicine
Zoo Medicine is a specialized field of veterinary medicine focused on the health and care of animals in zoos and wildlife parks. Veterinarians in this field are trained to diagnose and treat a wide variety of species, from mammals to birds and reptiles. They work to ensure the animals are healthy, manage diseases, and provide preventive care.
In addition to medical treatment, Zoo Medicine involves research and conservation efforts. Veterinarians collaborate with zookeepers and biologists to study animal behavior, nutrition, and reproduction. This knowledge helps improve animal welfare and supports conservation initiatives for endangered species in their natural habitats.
