Small animal veterinarians are practitioners that specialize in the health management of dogs, cats, birds, exotics, and other companion animals. Small animal veterinarians are licensed animal health professionals that are qualified to diagnose and treat a variety of companion species. Small animal practitioners commonly treat dogs and cats as well as other small mammals, birds, and reptiles that are kept as pets.
The typical routine for a vet in small animal practice includes well pet exams, scheduled surgeries (such as spay/neuter procedures), and post-surgical follow-up exams. Vets in large animal practices may work out of a traditional clinic or, more frequently, travel to visit their clients on the farm. Additional duties for veterinarians include taking x-rays, writing prescriptions, suturing wounds, giving vaccinations, and advising owners on proper follow-up care.
