Why are veterinarians less likely to be sued than regular doctors?

There are several reasons given within the industry. First, most (but certainly not all) veterinarians tend to be good communicators. Research indicates that medical professionals are sued not because of poor outcomes, but because the owner/patient didn't feel he/she understood the risk of a poor outcome. Second, it is not as widely known that veterinarians can be sued, so less people tend to follow up on this and file a case. Third, a poor outcome with a pet doesn't carry as much negativity as a poor outcome with a human (although this is changing as younger adults have pets until they are ready to have children).

Which is cheaper to keep a donkey cow or Falabella horse?
Most likely it would be the Falabella horse as it is the smallest and will therefore eat the least. They likely would not require shoes, and typically equine veterinarians and farriers will charge less for the care of a small equine such as a miniature or Falabella. They also require less space then a donkey or cow.

Why are doctors better than vets?
There are quite a few reasons for this, with each piece accounting for part of the discrepancy. First, doctors are typically paid from money received from health insurance and government health care programs like Medicare and Medicaid while veterinarians are paid directly by their clients. Therefore, doctors (or hospitals or clinics) charge what they feel they should be paid while veterinarians tend to charge a compromise between what they feel they should be paid and what the client can actually afford to pay. Second, veterinarians work on animals while doctors work on humans. Since animals are legally only worth what someone will pay for them, the costs of medications and equipment tend to be much cheaper for veterinarians than for doctors. The cost savings are passed on to the clients, and veterinarians charge less for the same service or medication. Good example of this: injectable Naxcel (an antibiotic) for a cow tends to cost about $50 per one gram bottle; the exact same injectable Naxcel for a human costs about $150 per one gram bottle. The human version costs more, mostly because companies can charge more for the human version.

What percentage of women are veterinarians?
I think it's wrong to ask it this way. Better will be , how many percent doctors are women? So, I think, 25 to 40 % will be my guess, variation being from country to country. Even some countries will be there, where even 10% or less of the doctors are women. This because women may not be allowed to go for higher or technical education in those countries. Hope it helps.

How does the economy affect veterinarians today?
In the United States, many veterinarians are feeling the effect of the recession that started in 2008. Owners are taking their pets to the vet less and are often spending less per visit as well. Veterinarians that are affiliated with shelters are seeing more owner drop-offs due to moving into an apartment that doesn't allow pets and more abandoned animals as owners can't afford to take care of them.
