Veterinarians treat all types of animals. Exotic animals, equine, wildlife, or domestic, veterinarians are certified and licensed to care for all types of animals.
Doctors who are called veterinarians do work on certain animals. There does not seem to be a "sertent" animal, but certain animals including horses and cows are served by specific types of veterinarians.
Veterinarians are just like everyone else, with talents ranging from woodworking to singing.
This depends somewhat on the type of work the veterinarian is in. However, with prudent financial planning, the vast majority of veterinarians can afford pretty much any car they want to buy.
In the United States there are approximately 50,000 actively working veterinarians.
Most veterinarians work as private practitioners in clinics, examining, diagnosing and treating animals. Some veterinarians work for the federal government enforcing humane handling, animal welfare, food safety, and drug withdraw times. Other veterinarians are commissioned officers in the military, where they can be involved in any and all of the above. There are veterinarians working for biomedical and pharmaceutical industries in research and development, and a number of veterinarians working in other places such as zoos and wildlife parks, non-governmental organizations, legislature and NASA.
The most common employer of veterinarians are other veterinarians and veterinary clinics. Other options include the federal and state government, industry, colleges and universities and the military.
No, veterinarians is a plural noun.
The American Kennel Club currently recognizes approximately 250 different pure breeds of dogs, so veterinarians work with at least that many. In addition, veterinarians work with cross-breeds (such as Labradoodles and other designer crosses) and mixed breed dogs (often referred to as mutts). Basically, if it is a domestic dog, a veterinarian can examine and treat it.
Yes, veterinarians can advertise their services.
I don't know that an exhaustive list has been compiled anywhere - veterinarians have a broad training that allows them to work in numerous areas, not all of which are clearly defined or well known. However, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has a website (avma dot org) that references the major types of practice.
