Veterinarians can effectively approach diagnosing colic in horses by conducting a thorough physical examination, including checking vital signs, listening to gut sounds, and performing a rectal exam. They may also use diagnostic tools such as blood tests, ultrasound, and X-rays to help identify the cause of the colic. Treatment will depend on the specific diagnosis and may include pain management, fluid therapy, and sometimes surgery. Early detection and prompt intervention are key to successful outcomes in colic cases.
Most equine veterinarians work on the farms, stables, tracks and show rings where horses are housed at. Some equine veterinarians work in a clinic where horses can be brought for specialized diagnostics and treatment.
No. Veterinarians are people, not horses.
Equine Veterinarians, and Large Animal Veterinarians are specialists that treat horses. They do usually command a higher fee than small animal veterinarians or those without additional special training. Each veterinarian chooses how much to charge for their services. Additionally, most veterinarians treating horses come to your farm to see them. You will pay a trip charge to cover the vet's expenses for the visit.
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 important for several reasons. First they help to protect animal health by examining, diagnosing and treating many diseases and conditions of domesticated animals. This ranges from preventing parvovirus in puppies through vaccination to removing bladder stones in rabbits to floating teeth in horses to allow them to eat properly. Second, veterinarians help protect human health. One of the main ways veterinarians do this is by vaccinating domesticated animals (particularly dogs, but also cats, horses and cattle) against rabies. Prior to mandatory vaccination of dogs against rabies, dozens of people became infected with rabies every year in the United States. Veterinarians are also involved in many aspects of public health, ranging from inspecting meat and poultry products to improving sanitation in communities to prevent contamination of drinking water. Third, veterinarians help improve the lives of both animals and humans through everything from investigating disease outbreaks to helping develop new drugs and medical technologies to educating both veterinarians and non-veterinarians.

There really aren't any medium animal veterinarians. Small animal veterinarians focus primarily on companion pets - cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, birds, etc. Large animal veterinarians focus primarily on livestock - horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, etc.
