Veterinary over-sergeant-major.
(In Finland there is rank called "over sergeant major", which is just above "sergeant major")

eläin means animal
lääkintä means -medication

I think it was the newest type of RE car that did this. If you happen to use an RE train in Berlin, you really should listen to that quite closely
