A veterinarian can help almost all animals as long as its in their field. Like say that its a pet then the vet would have to be a small animal veterinarian, or say a horse they would have to be a large animal vet.

Veterinarians help in a variety of ways. The most commonly thought of method is by directly improving the lives of companion animals (pets) through routine wellness visits, vaccination and emergency/sick calls. Indirectly, these veterinarians also help by improving the human-animal bond and helping people live longer with their pets.

Large animal veterinarians help by maintaining and improving the health of large animals, such as horses, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. Because these animals are often production animals (for example, cattle produce milk and beef), keeping these animals healthy also helps keep the human population that consumes milk and beef healthy - healthy animals produce healthier foods.

Other veterinarians help by studying and conserving exotic and endangered species both in captivity (zoos, parks, private animal sanctuaries and collections) and in the wild. Some veterinarians focus on public health, tracking down disease outbreaks and helping to prevent them. Other veterinarians are with the armed forces, ensuring a safe and wholesome food supply as well as assisting local populations with building or rebuilding their agriculture infrastructure.

Not really.There are many kinds of animal doctors and these people love animals and have been trained to work with all animals to help them and keep them healthy.

ACTUALLY.....

Often many vets won't work on small migratory birds or other very small animals such as mice and fish. This is simply because it's very hard to do anything for an animal that small if there is anything you can do. Small animals like this die easily.

Veterinarians as a group care for a very wide range of animals, from frogs and Spiders to whales and giraffes. However, most veterinarians specialize in treating just few species of animals. The most commonly thought of species that veterinarians care for in the United States are horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, cats and dogs. Less common animals include ferrets, llamas, alpacas, pet birds, snakes, lizards, fish, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.

There are several types of support staff positions that help veterinarians care for animals. A veterinary technician is a person who has been trained (either through a formal college program or through on-the-job training at a clinic) to assist the veterinarian in a variety of tasks. These tasks can include holding animals, drawing blood, giving vaccines or medications, administering a treatment protocol (give IV fluids, give medications, feed/water schedule, check vital signs, clean medical equipment, etc.), perform a basic health evaluation (check respiratory rate, heart rate, temperature, weight, obtain a medical history and complaint from the owner), assist in surgery, etc. A veterinary assistant is a person who has been trained on the job at a clinic for a few of the above tasks but not all of them; you can think of a vet assistant as a less experienced/less trained version of a vet tech. There are also receptionists/secretaries/administrative assistants who help with maintaining the appointment schedule (a vet can't care for them if they don't show up), bill clients (the vet has to make money to keep caring for animals) and be a general representative to the clients. Some clinics also have kennel workers who take care of hospitalized or boarding animals, cleaning staff, groomers, bathers, etc. who provide additional services.

To a certain extent, yes. Basic first aide is transferable (although the blood pressure for various animal species varies, so a vet may not remember off hand), minor surgery to an extent (again, the physiology is different so they might have to "guesstimate"), as well as common medical procedures (starting an IV, drawing blood, etc). But legally they are not obligated to help an injured human any more than a regular passerby (unlike off duty EMT or other human related personnel).
