Without Help By A Veterinarian Surprise AZ Animals Can Easily Experience Distress

By Raymond Edwards


Ever since human kind has made its first appearance on the face of the earth, his survival depended upon animals. At first they were good for eating, shelter and clothing only, but to this day humans depend upon animals for food like eggs and milk, products such as wool and hides and even companionship. Animals are used for transport and to perform many other tasks. Without an attending veterinarian Surprise AZ animals will not be able to survive.

The greed and selfishness of mankind has seen to it that animals are no longer able to fend for themselves. Their natural habitats have been destroyed and invaded. Even wildlife have to be satisfied with being confined to fenced parks and limited choices. Because man is responsible for this situation, he has to take responsibility for the care of all animals. In this regard the help of vets is very important.

In many ways it is more complex practising as a vet than it is to practise as a medical doctor. Doctors only have to deal with one species but vets have to master all the unique differences between numerous different species of animals. Providing medical care is not all that vets do, however. They also provide advice on the correct diet and other requirements of animals.

Vets can also be of great service to potential animal buyers. Regardless of whether the animal in question will be kept as a pet, used for working purposes or even for breeding, a vet can advise on the condition of the animal, its requirements regarding food, exercise and shelter and its suitability for the environment within it will be kept. In this way costly mistakes can be avoided and serious injustices prevented.

It is a sad fact that so many animal owners do not realize just how important regular checks by a vet are. Animals cannot communicate their stress or pain and they often suffer without any visible sign. Regular checks will allow the vet to identify problems at an early stage. This will make it both easier and cheaper to treat. Getting an animal to a vet only when it is in a serious condition is an injustice.

The many different species of animals are all prone to different types of diseases and many vets simply cannot remain updated on all of them. That is why they choose to specialize in one or two species only. Owners of animals from different species will have to make use of different specialists when their animals need medical attention. It is not uncommon for some farmers to deal with five or six vets, depending on the animal concerned.

Far too many animals are abandoned or mistreated because they were acquired or rescued when they were small, cute and cuddly. When the grow up, they stop being cute and cuddly and they can even become problem animals because their living environments are unsuitable for their breeds. The golden rule is to never get a pet for the wrong reasons and to never give a pet to someone as a surprise.

Animals have a raw deal all around. Millions of them are forced to live miserable lives and more millions eke out their very short lives in factory farms where production is king. Mankind has a responsibility towards all animals. Vets can help them in many different ways.
