Best Answer

With my research I saw that many vets can treat any animal because there are many different kinds of vets. But any vet can refuse to treat an animal.

For example. If your dog is sick, the vet can refuse to treat the dog because, unlike in human medicine, there is no legal requirement for treatment. The two most common reasons a veterinarian will refuse to treat an animal are lack of owner ability to pay for treatment and inexperience with the species or condition.

Do you have to be a certain type of vet to treat wild animals?

Yes. You need to be one of two things... either an emergency vet who goes on animal rescues or a wildlife vet. An emergency vet is who people would call if they found an injured animal on the side of the road, and things like that. The emergency vet, no matter what kind of animal it was, would do his or her best to make the animal better. This can occur with domestic and wild animals. Or, you could be a wildlife vet. Hence the name, this vet would go out into the wilderness LOOKING for injured wildlife.

Does a Equine vet only take care of horses?

A vet can technically treat any animal but they may choose to specialize in one species. An equine vet specializes in equines (horses, ponies and donkeys) but can treat other animals if they choose to. My equine vet has also treated our cows and goats mainly as a favor to me, and I know that he treats his own dogs unless they require specialist care
