An animal doctor is called a vet. Some vets work for zoos or animal hospitals. Many have their own private offices. Vets do most of the same things that doctors do. They take the animal's temperature, listen to their heart beat and take X-rays. They also decide what kind of medicine a sick animal may need. If an animal is too thin, too fat or has specific health problems, the doctor may recommend a special diet. It takes about six to seven years of university studies to become a vet транскрипцию
