Importance of Veterinary Medicine

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation shows the pH from the ratio of the bicarbonate concentration and the partial pressure of CO2 and can reveal acid base disorders in animals, which are split into metabolic and respiratory disturbances: metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis.

Veterinarians are important to our society as they treat our pets and animals. They help animals get better by performing surgery and giving medications. They also ensure a safe food supply for humans by monitoring the health of food-producing animals.
