> It cannot cost that much to start a vet clinic

In 2011 it was around a million according to one article I read. I'm guessing it's way more now.

The Google seems to put that at the high end estimate. A vet clinic is still, even so, orders of magnitude cheaper to start than a hospital, and veterinarians don’t make orders of magnitude less than doctors.

I expect that PE won’t be able to push it too far before vets just start their own practices much like doctors are doing.

Um, Excuse me? Yes, they most certainly do.

>Wages for physicians and surgeons are among the highest of all occupations, with a median wage equal to or greater than $239,200 per year.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
