As with any job, veterinary medicine can be stressful. Veterinarians often work long hours, including nights, weekends and holidays. There are many treatments for diseases possible, but in some cases the treatment is too expensive for the owner to pursue and you end up euthanizing an animal that is suffering but could have been treated if the money had been there. There are conditions and diseases that cannot be treated, simply managed for pain and quality of life until a best friend is lost. There are staffing issues, and personnel management, and money concerns. On top of this, most veterinarians have a family (spouse, kids, etc.) which has its own stressful moments.

How stressful is being a veterinarian?
