Unlike other veterinary specialists who focus on a body system (e.g. the eye or skin) or a species of animal (e.g. horses, cats, food animals, etc), these animal doctors seem to “focus” on everything. They care for the hundreds of different animal species that reside in a typical zoo and must have an understanding of all of them.
