Hi mumsy!
There are several avenues for compiling such a list --- Though I'm not
entirely clear on what you mean by "registered," I'm going to assume
you are talking about "licensed."
"To practice veterinarian medicine in West Virginia, all persons must
be licensed unless they fit within one of the exceptions listed in the
statute. The Board of Veterinary Medicine will license a resident
applicant who shows that he is: (1) a graduate of an approved school
of veterinary medicine; (2) at least 18 years of age; (3) a citizen of
the U.S., or an applicant for citizenship; (4) a person of good moral
character; and (5) who passes the requisite examination (unless
exempt). "

Here is the information on how to reach the West Virginia Veterinary
Board:
West Virginia Veterinary Board
1900 Kanawha Boulevard East
Charleston, WV 25305-0019
(304) 558-2016
http://www.aavsb.org/dlr.asp
http://www.nbec.org/boards.html
And perhaps a more personal contact for the above:
West Virginia Veterinary Medical Association
Ms. Gail Jones
#35 Turner Road
Elkview, WV 25071
Phone: 304-965-3373
Fax: 304-965-1106

Each state board is overseen by the American Association of Veterinary
State Boards (AAVSB).
"The American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) is the
association of governmental agencies (boards) whose primary function
is to protect the public by regulating veterinarians and the practice
of veterinary medicine."

I have sent email requests to both of the above boards to see if they
will provide a list. So far I have not heard back from either one (but
it's only been an hour). If I do hear back, I'll post a clarification
here. Meanwhile, I suggest you follow up with them as well, maybe by
phone.
Also, a veterinarian can elect to join the American Veterinary Medical
Association (AVMA). Though membership is voluntary, the AVMA states
that their membership represents over 67,000 (approximately 80% of
all) practicing veterinarians.

The AVMA also has State Chapters. The West Virginia Chapter may be
able to provide you with a membership list.

Finally, there are lists online that individuals and organizations
have compiled. Although these lists aren't necessarily "official" and
may not be complete or entirely up to date, some of them appear to be
rather comprehensive. They may provide you with a starting place.

I hope this information gets you what you need. If there's anything
I've said that isn't entirely clear, please feel free to ask for a
clarification.
