And it does not seem lab animal vet for rodents and others is not going to "drastically change" for academia in the near future. It may be not as many animals, but it will still exist for sometime...
So if you go that route, rather than private practice, remember, a lot of path and utter memorization... The ACLAM Diplomate status is like WOW!!!

Well, I was talking about dogs, cats, and smaller. Dogs and cats fall under the small animal category too. Large animals would be cattle, horses, goats, pigs etc. those kinds of animals. Guinea pigs would fall under exotic and laboratory animals, such as ferrets, rabbits, amphibians, caged birds, fish, llamas, alpacas, marine mammals, etc.
Where I work, we primarily work with dogs and cats, but we also get rodents as patients sometimes. The exotic animals such as snakes, hedgehogs, prairie dogs, tarantulas etc. we refer them to a specialist.
It's going to take a lot of work and experience to open a private practice though.
