One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Veterinary surgery definition

Veterinary surgery is the branch of veterinary medicine that applies surgical techniques to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases in animals. Mastering its definition helps students recognise the scope of practice, ethical responsibilities, and the difference between surgical and non‑surgical interventions, which is critical for exam questions on clinical practice and animal welfare.
