Whats the differance between human and veterinary medication?

Human and animal diseases can be vastly different. Although both people and animals get the same kinds of diseases, (such as genetic disorders, cancer, heart disease, respiratory problems) a lot of them will not be exactly the same diseases. Diseases also vary as much from one animal to the next as from animals to humans. For example, horses might have illnesses related to the hoof whereas a cat obviously can't! However, most of the metabolic pathways will be the same, so any dietary deficiencies or metabolic disorders usually get the same treatment, adjusted for dose. Vets have to perform a lot more operations such as castrations / spaying / neutering or claw clipping etc. Human doctors would usually refer you to a surgeon. Of course there are veterinary surgeons who specialise only in that, but mostly practitioners will perform both. Medication for animals is usually less tightly regulated as well, and pain relief techniques are a lot less sophisticated. Remember that vets don't have the patient tell them how much it hurts!\n\nSo some will be the same, apart from dosages and maybe slight adjustments to the formula - but any diseases which are species-specific will have their own medication. A lot more money is pumped into r&d for drugs for humans than for animals so the pharmacopoiea will also be more varied for humans.

As a part of our police duties in a small town, I helped with animal control,  the drugs used in the tranquillizer gun is prescribed and you will not get it without a licence or having proper authority to have them.\n\nAlso the mix of drugs and getting the dose right is very hard.\nand different for various animals, dog has one type, cat another.  ( and for some you mix the two very carefully)\n\nOne mistake and you have a dead animal.

Well, it's not just 'vet science', which is not a curriculum.  Since it is a medicine field, you will have to study several courses in chemistry, a few courses in mathematics (up to calculus II just to be able to complete your chemistry courses), other courses will include Zooilogical courses, many biological courses, a couple of statistics courses (so as to be able to predict outcomes of patients). not to mention ALL the baiscs such as Freshman comps I and II, Algebra, university program courses that your chosen university says you MUST complete (however irrelevant to your major) and participation in related vet clubs and organizations.  My ex went to this school to be a vet and I understand it is one of THE leading vet schools in the US.....http://www.cvm.msstate.edu/

a zoonoses is a parasite that has part of its life cycle in an animal, but infects humans as its final reproductive host. Zoonotic diseases are diseases caused by infectious agents that can be transmitted between animals and humans

we can buy animal controlled drugs for our dogs via the internet, but we have to send them the vets prescription prior to the delivery. maybe its the same for human drugs ?

They are exactly the same thing.  The only difference is that the human eye picks up a restricted range of wavelengths, and these are denoted "visible".\n\nVarious animals detect different wavelengths.  For them the visible/invisible divide is in a different place.\n\nAnd that is just part of the electromagnetic spectrum:

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and i can tell that if you go to the sites 'alternative medicine' then type in veterinary you should come up with what you are looking, i do know that there is a pet section, I;ve seen it.\n\nGloria(BSYA)

Biomedical is the común med, when dr r to cientific and they dont get to know the feeling of the person and stuff like that.\nSocial is the medicine that is looking to solve the society problems, cause they think those problems r helping people to get sick. (Such es economy, pollution and stuff)\nAnd holistic studies humans, in all the way: feelings, economy, backround, hows the house they r living, causes, etc to make a diagnostic. So this kind is better. And of course they r not against natural medicine, acupunture, and all the alternatives.\nBiological only gives u a medication that haves been proved by sience.

They are the same as every other mammal-nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, etc- There is no significant difference between the organ system of a dog and that of a human.

Humans are extremely funny creatures.  I believe insanity in humans is the equivalency of rabies in animals.  Once in a while you can get bit by one  that hasn't lost its sense of humor somewhere in the woods.

The FDA is in charge of food safety/nutrition, and drug evaluation and research.  Food and drugs are consumable items and both are health related.

While humans are animals there are few things that make us different from the other animals.  Much in the same way cats are different than dogs.\n\nPhysical (not all of these are unique to humans but the combination of all them is)  \nBrain size: brains take up a larger mass relative to size \nour thumbs\nwalk upright on two feet \nno fur (yes we have a little but not much)\nchildhood is much longer\n\nHumans are able to use abstract thoughts more proficiently than our animal cousins (math, art, language)\nWe can refine tools.  Other animals use tools, (chimps elephants) but they don't refine them.\nHumans can pass on information over many generations\n\nThis is not exclusive list, but I believe I have hit some of the most important points

When you are talking about the "university test", do you mean the ACT/SAT or GRE?  I don't know what you mean exactly.  Nevertheless, whatever test you speak of, you need to do well in comparison to others.\n\nUndergrad subjects to learn:  Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic, Bio), Microbiology, Nutrition, Physics, and the basic courses - or, in general, how the body is put together, how it works, and how things all come together.\n\nVet School:  Anatomy, Physiology, Reproduction, Nutrition, Histology, Internal Medicine, Species Specific Medicine (i.e. Swine, Cattle, Poultry), Food Safety/Public Health, Surgery, etc.   Again, how the body is put together, how it works, how it goes wrong, and how to fix it.\n\nWhat is involved with being a vet?  It depends on what you want to do.  It can vary with species.  There is the general dog/cat vet.  But some work on pigs specifically.  Swine vets often work with producers with the environments, breeding, nutrition, and disease outbreaks.  They also do necropsies when there are deaths in the herd.  However, there is also the public health side to veterinary work.  And commercial (drug companies, nutrition companies), government, etc.  \n\nI cannot tell you what universities there are in Australia.  Contact a local veterinarian for information with that.  And while you are there, get experience.  That is very important.  It is also good if you can get experience with several species.\n\nGood luck.

No! \n\nFarm personnel, including owners, managers, and farm workers should be educated on the risk of adverse and fatal human effects associated with the use of common equine veterinary drugs such as Xylazine and Acepromazine\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/Niosh/face/stateface/ky/03ky134.html

Human beings are the only creatures that possess both a mortal biological nature and an immortal spiritual nature in the image of God. This differentiates humans from every other form of Creation. Angels have only an immortal spiritual nature, no biological nature, while animals have only a biological nature, no immortal spiritual nature. Human beings are also "the summit of the Creator's work" [Catechism of the Catholic Church].

Yes, same stuff you take by prescription, vet grade..same stuff. BUT certainly more expensive than if you have prescription. OF course, by the time you add up what it cost for a doc visit and the drug, it can get pricey quickly. If you want to use Tetracycline, no problem, start with 2 each 250 mg, then one 4 times a day for 10 days...should kill anything you have, unless the bug is resistant.

Different kinds of animals have different kinds of blood. Dogs have 4 blood types; cats have 11; cows have about 800.
