[piratevet]

Question is simple ! In here ( Serbia) mixed practice are most popular and as I know they have a best profit! It is becaose this is still mostly rural country so I want to know how is the situation in other ,,normal" part of the world? Thanks!

How normal we are is open to debate, but in the US, median salaries for veterinarians in private practice in 2005:

Large animal exclusive $106,901
Large animal predominant 94,288
Mixed animal 90,960
Small animal exclusive 107,071
Small animal predominant 105,499
Equine 128,302

Phew, equine is cleaning up!

It makes up for the first few years in equine practice making $20k less than your SA classmates...

The most profitable specialties (as far as one specific species is concerned) are actually poultry and swine.

Wasn't there a pretty recent article in DVM Magazine (or something similar, I don't recall) talking about the different salaries if you are a boarded specialist?

Would love to read that article if anyone has a link. Out of pure curiosity I've tried looking up averages for private practice specialists to no avail. It doesn't make any difference, and there is probably a HUGE range... but it'd be interesting to know.

Yes there was an article about the salaries of boarded specialists, I believe we actually had a thread about it too. I would like to see a similiar listing of species specific salaries.

sure​

that there is a huge different

between​

poultry/swine specialist in US and Serbia.
