Not legally in the United States, or most other Western countries. Most countries have passed "scope of practice" laws, defining what procedures must be done by a trained and licensed veterinarian. These procedures include surgery, diagnostic tests, treatments and prescribing medications.

It depends on the veterinarian in question really. I have seen vets that have taken in all sorts of animals.

The only problem would be if the vet did not know how to treat the injury/condition, but this is very unlikely!
