Fiona Grace Peterson
: There seems to be some confusion - by "do not translate", Cedric did not mean leave it in, but put NO title. Not "Dr.ssa Rossi", but "Mrs Rossi, DVM"

: What Wendy said. Dott.ssa is cryptic and meaningless in English. Fascinating that so many translators have diverging opinions about a such a simple question.

Di solito in inglese Dott. si riferisce al medico. Essendo veterinario in questo caso si usa Dr. ok ? Ho scritto in cosa si è laureata .... leggi bene ... bye
