Europe's veterinarians are stepping in to help save human lives as the coronavirus outbreak stretches medical facilities and staffing to the limit.
Many animal practices have donated crossover equipment, are helping with virus test analysis, and thousands of vets have volunteered as reserve emergency carers for patients who don't have fur or tails.
"Our expertise, our equipment, and our commitment can help save human lives," the Swiss Veterinary Society (SVS) states on its website, urging members to help where possible because "a human life is worth more than an animal life."
