Ponies are the dominant species (possibly along with zebras, but we've only seen one so it's hard to say), and thus not seen by each other as "animals". Therefore, pony doctors treat ponies, and veterinarians treat all other non-speaking species. I think that makes sense.

And presumably, dragons, griffons (more civilized than dragons), and other talking species would have their own doctors or methods of medical care.
