      Yep they sure do! Many of the operations that doctors perform on humans can be replicated in animals. Keyhole surgery could be used to remove a foreign object that a dog has eaten for instance or perform a knee replacement on a thoroughbred race horse! The anatomy of humans and animals is very similar which makes it easy for vets and doctors to perform the same procedures
