large animal vet
Elephant physician, perhaps
A large animal vet is a veterinarian who treats big livestock and farm animals—horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats—rather than household pets.
The work often involves traveling to farms and ranches rather than seeing patients in a clinic: The large animal vet drove out at 3 a.m. for a difficult calving.
