Hello carterjon-ga,
It is extremely difficult to get geographically specific salary
information. It is even more difficult to get this information for
veterinarians because the profession can be practiced in a wide array
of settings. However, the search was not hopeless and I?ve gathered a
collection of links that should give you a pretty good idea of the job
outlook for veterinarians and trends in the field. In addition, I was
able to find some statistics for both California and national salaries
for new graduates and a small selection of reports on earnings by
experienced veterinarians. I?ve also located a report that you can buy
for $99 that will give you all the information you seek.
I trust that the information I?ve found will give you what you need.
All the best.

Women Soon to be Majority of Veterinarians
Yilu Zhao, New York Times, June 9. 2002
Many veterinary students and veterinarians say the change has occurred
because veterinary salaries are not competitive with those of other
medical professions.
As recently as the 1970's, the income of veterinarians was right
behind that of physicians. But veterinarians now average $70,000 to
$80,000 a year, veterinary groups report, while physicians can easily
earn $150,000 a year. Both professions require demanding preliminary
courses and four years of doctoral studies. Increasingly, many
graduates work as interns and residents, just as physicians do.
Dr. Heider said that 65 percent to 70 percent of veterinarians'
earnings in this country last year came from treating pets and that
spending on pet care rose to $11.1 billion, from $6.9 billion in 1991.
