Equine veterinarians are responsible for preventative health care as well as treatment of diseases and injuries. This includes giving vaccines, treating wounds and lameness, assisting delivery of a foal and performing surgery. Many equine veterinarians travel from stable to stable for their appointments, which means they are on the road all day and sometimes all night as well.
