As we know, animals look different from each other on the outside. A pig looks different from a cow, right? Well, they look different on the inside, too! And while people can tell their doctor why they don’t feel well or what hurts, animals can’t!

  20. Veterinarians • Veterinarians have to be able to examine the animal, talk to its owner and from there figure out what may be wrong and what tests to run.
