Dr. Wiggins explained the requirements for a degree in veterinary medicine as well as explained unlike physicians, veterinarians are expected to be able to treat several different species of patients, e.g. dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, etc. and all of their anatomy is quite different from specie to specie.
