Korzenie medycyny weterynaryjnej - czy są oczywiste?

In Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, animal husbandry played an important role as a source of wealth and therefore in a social life. However, there is scarce evidence of treating animals. Records from far back in history are often incomplete, uncredited, usually pieced together from different sources and languages. Likewise, very little is known about the people who healed animals. In Ancient Egypt, we do not even know the word for a veterinarian, because the word swnw means “as a doctor”. In Mesopotamia, the name of the species of animal that was treated was simply added to the word, meaning physician - azu. In this we have analysed the available documentations regarding the treatment of animals. We have hypothesized that in Ancient times there was probably no separation or it was a thin, fluid line between human and veterinary medicine.
