Well here is what goes on in our general practice (we do take emergencies during buisness hours). Warning there is not really a "typical" day; anything can happen at anytime.
The mornings involve doing surgeries and seeing appointments. Depending on the day we can have anywhere from 0-5/6 surgeries (we had 9 one day). Most of these are spays/neuters and dentals, but we also get the occasional growth removal and sometimes the crazy surgeries (pyometras, TPLO, fracture repair, etc.) The appointments happen at the same time as surgeries (one dr. dose sx, the other takes appointments). The appointments range from vaccines to ear infections, ear hematomas, anal gland issues, UTI, URI, vomiting, diarrhea, bloodwork rechecks for certain medications, limping, look at this lump, etc. The afternoon consists of only appointments and discharging patients that had surgery that morning. We do hospitalize patients for things like pancreatitis, parvo, etc. They either go home for the evening or head to the emergency clinic for an overnight stay (this depends on how they are doing/what they owner wants to do. EAC's are $$$). Of course at anytime of the day we can get an emergency whether it be a pyometra that needs immediate surgery, a HBC dog, dog that has been in a dog fight, emergency c-section, pet suffering from heat stroke, etc. There really is no "normal". Some days are slow where you see a vaccine or two and that is it. And some days are crazy busy where you have a dog already in surgery, two emergencies, and five clients waiting in the lobby for their appointments. I absolutely love the unpredictability of it all.
ETA: I just read that back through and there are quite a few spelling errors in there. Please ignore. I am going to blame it on not having any sleep in the past 36 hours. Also, I am not quite sure if this was the answer you were looking for or not, but anyway, that explains the typical day in our two doctor clinic.
