The best-paid veterinarians earned $161,070, while the lowest-paid earned $52,470.
This varies depending upon the country's laws and the contract negotiated by the veterinarian with the employer. In countries with mandatory minimum paid sick days, veterinarians get at least the minimum. However, it is possible for veterinarians to negotiate for more paid sick days per year in their employment contracts. In the United States, which has no minimum mandatory paid sick days, the average is about 3, although this ranges from 0 to 10 days per year. In many cases when veterinarians don't have paid sick days they have a set number of paid leave days that can be used as both sick leave and vacation leave.
Veterinarians who work for a clinic or hospital will get paid every two weeks. Those who have their own practice can get paid whenever they like.
I'm not sure what you mean by "paid so much" - most veterinarians in the United States make less than US$100,000 per year. However, veterinarians are generally better paid than most American workers, primarily because they have gone through extensive training (at least seven years of college) and are medical professionals.

This varies between each veterinary clinic and the individual veterinarians. However, partial or full health insurance, some retirement benefit, some paid days off and some support for maintaining licensure are typical.
