This will depend on the type of medicine the veterinarian is practicing. In the United States there are four main types of practitioners. Small animal practitioners treat dogs and cats primarily. Practitioners that have branched out into exotic pets will care for birds, reptiles, snakes, rodents like guinea pigs and hamsters and other non-traditional pets. Large animal practitioners treat cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas. Equine practitioners treat horses, donkeys, mules and other equids.
