Among numerous professional holidays a special place is occupied by the Day of the veterinarian. It is to the people of this profession that we rush when our pet is bad. Veterinarians are able to understand pets without a single word and to provide the necessary assistance. Veterinary medicine workers will never hear words of gratitude from their patients, so try to congratulate them on the World Veterinary Day.
A bit of history
At all times there were people capable of herbs, tinctures and conspiracies to ease animal diseases. Since the peasants depended on livestock, lived and ate largely at his expense, then they took good care of him. Therefore, the exact time and place the appearance of the first vet can not be determined.
Veterinary medicine as a separate science was born in the 18th century in France, where the world's first school for physicians, treating animals, founded by Louis XV was opened. They opened it to stop epidemics, which destroyed a huge number of cattle.
When is Veterinarian's Day celebrated?
Sometimes there are disputes - how many are celebrated the day of a veterinarian? The bottom line is that there is an international holiday of such an orientation, and there is a Russian one. The date of the International Veterinarian Day is April 27. Veterinarians in many countries around the world are waiting for him and in their own way, raising a glass not only for their colleagues, but for the health of four-footed patients.
