I have been very fortunate in my experiences as a vet. I have seen quite a wide range of cases that not many vets would have. I feel blessed and quite thankful for that. It has made me a much better and more well-rounded vet. I am simply ready to tackle any species and am so […]

Go Shorty!

I obviously meet lots of dogs and cats every day and I connect and adore all my patients. However, I definitely sometimes develop an instant connection with a pet for whatever reason and feel quite bonded to it. It is not uncommon to feel like your own pet chose you and you could not resist! […]

Some have actually gotten the poison from the neighbor’s property, others have had access in their own homes and some we have never determined the type of poisoning they have ingested.

The sequel on ‘China’ the goose

We followed through with our plans with ‘China’. He was admitted for full workup and I got great information from Dr. Colin (from Melbourne bird clinic) and he confirmed the diagnosis of bumblefoot based on the pictures I emailed him.

The art of surviving the losses

I have only been back to work for two days after having two weeks off and this is what I already look like. I feel very distressed because I have already lost a few very special patients and it is only Tuesday. However, part of being a veterinarian is you need to learn to store that deflation away […]
