Veterinarians deal with everything from maintaining the health of a diabetic dog to stitching up a horse after it runs through barb wire, human resources (staffing, benefits, pay, scheduling, etc.), communications with clients, maintaining inventory and supplies, maintaining appropriate licensure and a host of other things.
Veterinarians treat pretty much every animal in the world, so a veterinarian could have patients ranging from tarantulas to giraffes. However, most veterinarians limit the type of animals they treat to domesticated mammals (dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs) and some less common pets (ferrets, rodents like guinea pigs and hamsters and rats, snakes, reptiles, birds).
