I am a veterinarian in large animals, and I studied for a long time. I went to gradeshcool, 4 years of college, and then I had to take a test called the AFSLG (assesment for study of large animals) After i passed the test that i studied for for a long amount of time, i had to go to veterinarian school for 10-15 years. Adter that, I went to Africa to study large animals for about 30 years. I retired before i became one, SUUUCKKKKA!
Yes. A DVM (doctor of veterinary medicine) can treat ALL animals if they have the proper training and certification.
Of course you can.
In veterinary school, the major is veterinary medicine. In undergraduate college in the United States before vet school, there is no required major, although biology, chemistry and animal science are popular choices.
Veterinary technologists have a bachelors (4-year) degree in veterinary technology.
The US Army Veterinary Corps provides food safety and security inspections for all of the Armed Services. This unit is responsible for providing care to Military Working Dogs, ceremonial horses, working animals of many Department of Homeland Security organizations, and pets owned by service members. In order to serve there, you must be a graduate of an accredited school of veterinary medicine in the United States, or, if a graduate of a foreign veterinary school, successfully complete certification by the Education Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates. In the ROTC program... you would go to college first and then serve out your contract.
Most of the time they animals in the wild do not get treatment, but are you asking about the animals in the wild or in animal reserves or just in general.For animals in the wild they don't get veterinary treatment.For animals on reserves it depends on what reserve you go to. In Africa they us the reserves for tours and picture taking. But, the animals don't get that kind of care.

Not usually. Only very large snakes eat large animals. Most snakes will not go after prey larger than rodents.
Volunteering at animal shelters, employment at entry level positions at pet stores and grooming services and mixing in pet sitting/dog walking would allow for a decent mix of professional and personal experiences with animals.
