I'm not a veterinarian, and I have no training in the field. But I see this or similar questions all the time and I have an opinion.
Higher math teaches the brain how to approach a complicated situation and come to a resolution in a very methodical manner. A vet would use this kind of thinking when he/she sees an animal with various symptoms but the diagnosis isn't obvious. How do you approach that problem? There has to be a method, sometimes a very complicated method, to figuring out the answer.
A vet also has to live in the world and possibly run his own business, keep his own books and figure his income taxes, make financial decisions, borrow money, etc.
