Do veterinarians get hurt on their job?
Yes, veterinarians can and do get hurt treating animals. Small animal veterinarians tend to have needle sticks, slips/falls, bites from aggressive animals. Large animal veterinarians also have needle sticks and slips/falls, but are at more risk for injury from exposure to the elements and kicks from animals.
What places in the world needs pet vets?
Small animal or companion animal veterinarians are needed anywhere that people keep pets. This is more common in large cities and in developed countries like those in Europe. In rural areas, large animal or livestock veterinarians are in more demand - this covers much of western China and Africa.
Are large animal vets in higher demand than small animal vets?
Vets earn more money working with smaller animals rather than large, because it is harder to operate on a smaller animal and it is harder to get an IV in a smaller animal, because it veins are smaller and harder to pin point. Basically everything is harder with a smaller animal, because you aren't used to how small the animal is. I agree, vets that work with smaller animals only get paid more because there are a lot more smaller animals than big animals, ( that vets actually treat). I also agree. It is harder to work on smaller animals. Everything is so much smaller on the them and the tools are big so it is much harder. And they are weaker than big ones so they have to treat them quickly.
What major should you pick if you love horses?
Large-animal veterinarians are in high-demand. It is a satisfying job, though not as well paid as small animal vets, who earn more money by seeing kitties, dogs, mice, tortoises etc in Towns. Large animal vets work more often in the country, or smaller towns. A vet told me last week there is a shortage of vets all over. That would be a good choice.

How many veterinarians are there in the world?
There are probably a couple dozen different ways you can divide veterinary medicine up. The most common is to differentiate private practice (small animal, large animal, mixed, equine) from industry, research, academia, military, government and other. However, private practice can be divided further into small animal exclusive, small animal predominant, mixed, large animal predominant, large animal exclusive, equine, avian, exotic and the various board-certified specialties. The same is true for non-practice veterinary careers - you can continue to subdivide until you get a fairly homogenous group, but the number of individuals in the group will be pretty small.
Can veterinarians work part time?
Yes, some veterinarians do work part time. This has become slightly more popular as the demographics of working veterinarians shifts towards being more heavily female - women veterinarians are more likely to want to work part time and trade a smaller paycheck for more time for family and home. This option is also being used by veterinarians with injuries/illnesses that make it difficult for them to work a full day but they aren't mentally, emotionally, or financially ready to retire yet.
Is veterinarians work seasonal?
To some degree, yes - the type of cases and the hours of work can fluctuate depending upon the season. This is more obvious in large animal and equine work, where there are definitive breeding seasons and calving/foaling seasons.
How many jobs are available for veterinarians?
This is hard to quantify, as many positions that veterinarians are qualified for either don't advertise (such as many associate veterinarian positions at private practice clinics) or don't advertise specifically to veterinarians (this is common among government jobs that require a scientific background). As of June 2013 in the United States, there were more small animal and mixed animal private practitioners than absolutely needed. However, other fields in veterinary medicine, including public health and research, have many open positions.
What type of vet makes the most money?
