Plankton is not the name of a plant or animal but more of a category for any drifting organism that inhabits the middle to upper levels of the ocean, namely the pelagic zone.
Most vets do spays, neuters, bone surgeries, spleen surgery, tumor removals, and intestinal surgeries. Heart surgery and more complicated surgeries are done by specialists that requires more schooling. If you want to be a vet, you have to have REALLY good grades and Vet school is MUCH harder to get into than human medical school.
Veterinarians treat the injuries and illnesses of pets and other animals with a variety of medical equipment, including surgical tools and x-ray and ultrasound machines. They provide treatment for animals that is similar to the services a physician provides to treat humans.
