Veterinarians treat the injuries and ailments of animals (most commonly, pets) with a variety of medical equipment. This can include surgical tools, x-ray and ultrasound machines. They provide treatment for animals that is very similar to the services a physician (doctor/medic) provides to humans. A Veterinarian's responsibilities primarily consist of examining animals\pets, diagnosing any medical problems, and treating health issues (ex: sickness/disease, broken bones and fractures, etc). They must also educate pet or animal owners on the proper care and health of their animals. Occasionally, these professionals need to be prepared to euthanize or put down animals.
I'm not sure if this will help (I was questioning the '/literature review') but I hope this is useful :)
