I would expect them to be a vet who treats, cures, looks after and put down etc exotic wildlife. They would need to be trained as a wildlife vet, and probably first start as a pet/general vet.

What are experts opinion on not having exotic animals?
I'm no expert but owning an exotic animal can be dangerous to you, AND the animal itself. For instance if you're owning a tiger, sure they're cute when they're little but what happens when it grows up to be 300 pounds? You would have to take it to a special vet more often that you would a dog or a cat. Also when you were sleeping, maybe you forgot to feed the tiger. It could easily overtake you in your sleep. Like I said before, I'm no expert by any means but in my opinion you shouldn't own an exotic animal unless you have precisely the proper care/habitat for it.

Do you have to be a certain type of vet to treat wild animals?
Yes. You need to be one of two things... either an emergency vet who goes on animal rescues or a wildlife vet. An emergency vet is who people would call if they found an injured animal on the side of the road, and things like that. The emergency vet, no matter what kind of animal it was, would do his or her best to make the animal better. This can occur with domestic and wild animals. Or, you could be a wildlife vet. Hence the name, this vet would go out into the wilderness LOOKING for injured wildlife.
