A veterinarian is highly trained for treatment of diseases in many species, and probably could treat some human conditions. However, this is highly illegal, as stated by the Veterinary Licence. Likewise, it is illegal for physicians to treat animal species.

What is a animal that is illegal for a vet to treat?
With my research I saw that many vets can treat any animal because there are many different kinds of vets. But any vet can refuse to treat an animal. For example. If your dog is sick, the vet can refuse to treat the dog because, unlike in human medicine, there is no legal requirement for treatment. The two most common reasons a veterinarian will refuse to treat an animal are lack of owner ability to pay for treatment and inexperience with the species or condition.

In general, most veterinarians in private practice have emotional defenses against becoming personally attached to their patients, so they typically don't get sad when a sick animal comes in to the office. Veterinarians may feel empathy for the animal as well as a deep desire to treat the illness and help the animal feel better, but for the most part veterinarians respond to animal illness with a logical and rational approach rather than an emotional approach.
