背景技术Background technique
兽医是指给动物进行疾病预防、诊断并治疗的医生,具体说来说,兽医是利用医学方法促进动物(包括野生动物和家禽家畜水生动物)机体与微生物和自然环境相互协调的一类工作者,动物疾病,指动物机体受到内在或外界致病因素和不利影响的作用而产生的一系列损伤与抗损伤的复杂过程,表现为局部、器官、系统或全身的形态变化和(或)功能障碍,在健康情况下,动物与其环境之间保持一种动态平衡,机体的结构和功能处于正常状态,疾病则使这种平衡受到破坏。Veterinarians refer to doctors who prevent, diagnose and treat diseases for animals. Specifically, veterinarians are workers who use medical methods to promote the coordination between the bodies of animals (including wild animals, poultry, livestock and aquatic animals), microorganisms and the natural environment. , Animal diseases refer to a series of complex processes of damage and resistance to damage caused by internal or external pathogenic factors and adverse effects on the animal body, manifested as morphological changes and (or) dysfunction of local, organ, system or whole body , Under healthy conditions, a dynamic balance is maintained between animals and their environment, and the structure and function of the body are in a normal state. Disease destroys this balance.
兽医经常需要进出动物居住的场所,动物居所存在大量粪便,同时粪便中存在较多的细菌,导致鞋底会粘有动物的粪便,则会将粪便及其中的细菌带离外界,造成污染,同时兽医在对动物进行近距离观察和治疗时,动物会惊慌四散,则避免不了兽医脚背受到动物踩踏而受伤,因此,我们提出了一种用于兽医的治疗护具。Veterinarians often need to enter and exit places where animals live. There is a large amount of feces in the animal residence, and there are many bacteria in the feces. As a result, animal feces will stick to the soles of the shoes, which will take the feces and the bacteria in them away from the outside world, causing pollution. At the same time, veterinarians When observing and treating animals at close range, the animals will panic and scatter, and the instep of the veterinarian will inevitably be injured by the animal's trampling. Therefore, we propose a treatment protective gear for veterinarians.
