Yes, you can work as a both an equine and a small animal veterinarian. However, equine medicine in the United States has become a specialty distinct from small animal medicine and it is uncommon to have either a veterinarian that stays current on all of these species or to have a practice that supports both an equine client list and a small animal client list without also covering large animals.
