[s]The veterinary profession is one of the most affected professions in terms of quackery, in that sometimes it is very difficult to identify a genuine vet doctor. You would even see some semi-illiterates and diploma holders parading themselves as veterinarians simply because they have an idea of some animal diseases. It is even more worrisome, the confidence and brazenness some of these quacks exhibit because in their minds, they are usually like "its just an ordinary animal". The only way to avoid falling victims to such unscrupulous people is for pet owners to have the capability to be able to distinguish between quacks and genuine doctors, because it may determine the life or death of your pet. The ways in which you can identify a quack are listed below;1) Its your right as a pet owner to ask questions about whatever condition your animal is suffering from and get a very detailed answer, if your "vet" cannot answer you or is dodgy about the question. Such individual is likely a quack. (Most quacks may be knowledgeable on how to perform the procedure but don't usually know the principles behind such procedure)2) Stylishly ask which school he/she graduated from if you are suspicious. Presently, we have only 11 vet schools in Nigeria. They include;(a)Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (b) Federal University Of Agriculture, Abeokuta(c) Federal University Of Agriculture, Makurdi (4)(d) Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture, Umudike (e) University Of Abuja,Abuja (f) University Of Ibadan, Ibadan(g) University Of Ilorin, Ilorin(h) University Of Maiduguri(i) University Of Nigeria Nsukka(j) Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto (I) University Of JosMost people do not know the schools that offer veterinary medicine, hence tend to make a blunder. It is imperative to take note of the above schools, if their school ain't in any of the above for now, he/she is definitely a quack. "Imagine a "vet" claiming he/she graduated from Unilag"3) Check the persons carriage, spoken english and dressing, although subjective, it can be a give away4) Check their price range and desperation for money, it could also be a give away. My dear friends, no veterinarian who spent 6yrs in Vet school would collect 300 naira from you for any procedure in your house !!!5) Lastly, if they are quick to give judgement on your case without careful and proper diagnosis, such individual is likely a quack.In conclusion, I believe if the above principles are followed you would be saved from quacks and get better quality treatment for your pets.[/s]

You're not serious at all.

So because I studied veterinary sciences, I am now a quack in your eyes, abi?

Nice.

Please, does a vet need special studies asides the normal vet degree to be able to treat birds? Where I stay, we have a lot of veterinary doctors but only a few of them do birds, and they are expensive. They call themselves 'avian vets'. Is it like that everywhere else?

I mean pet birds like parrots, parakeets, finches, canaries, etc.

Thanks.

Yes, veterinary medicine is wide, though a graduate of vet medicine do have knowledge on all species of animal. A vet doctor do have an area of interest where he/she devlops him/her self.

Some of different area a vet doctor can specializes on are;

Small animal medicine: Dog and Cat(basically)
Large animal medicine: sheep,goat,cattle.
Equine medicine: horses
Avian medicine : Poultry
Fish medicine: Fishes still at primitive stage in Nigeria.
Wildlife medicine: Zoological animals.

Each species of animal has different line of treatment and respond to drug drugs different. Drug used for species A can be a poison for species B. This is why veterinary medicine is harder compared to human medicine.

in addition to the above, it was also observed that when a "vet" is quick to prescribe without proper diagnosis and also has a habit of doing mostly home calls without been affiliated to a standard vet clinic or hospital, then one should be suspicious.

One of the quacks killed my dog, he's always doing home calls.

He then went ahead and killed another dog of someone I knew.

I really wanted his head but he went off the radar... Any house call doctor without any clinic affiliation is quack

Sincerely you are right. It is these hustlers that spoil the name of veterinarians in this country and pose danger to pets.
Let's call it what it is!

Animal scientists have spoiled business for Vets in Nigeria that's the reason both disciplines don't see ,eye ball to eye ball'.

Imagine a scenerio where a Vet. charge N100 to vaccinate a bird(Poultry),an Animal scientist will gladly take N30 for the same service!

I thought the function of vet doctor is to prescribe medication while an animal scientist carry out the administration of the said medication.
