Veterinarians are not spider experts (in general) and a better option would be to contact a local pest control agency or to contact a local agriculture college. Keep in mind that Brown recluse are poisonous so do not try to handle the spider. Here is some information I found on a pest control website: https://www.orkin.com/other/spiders/wolf-spiders https://www.orkin.com/other/spiders/brown-recluse-spiders I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
