> So many new Vets only want to do small animal or can only afford to do small animal work
I think that's a real problem and it's only going to get worse over time. There's becoming a huge divide between livestock and pet medicine. Not the medicine part, but just how the service is structured. There's a LOT of money in treating cats and dogs and every young vet wants a piece of that action (why wouldn't they?!).
