About Vet

I have been passionate about animals since I was able to speak, which was around 3 years old. I've always had a unique curiosity for animals, which has driven me to become a knowledgeable veterinarian who gives her 200% as my love for animals is unconditional and innate.

Having spent my entire childhood observing animal behavior—such as squirrels and various insects—and owning pets like fish, a cat, budgies, canaries, and now a dog and a bunny, I have developed an understanding of animals in a way I haven't seen in others.

Since we will most probably be working hand in hand to provide adequate care for your furry companion, here is a list of cases for which I highly recommend you see a veterinarian in person: • Acute vomiting • Not eating at all and poor general condition • Diarrhea with poor general condition • Lameness with non-weight-bearing or poor general condition • Eye problems with pain (closed eye) • Swollen and red ear with discharge, associated with head tilt or the first episode of these signs • Large or deep wound • Abscess if not ruptured or if the owner cannot clean/shave it properly • Breathing difficulties, nighttime coughing or other respiratory signs with poor general condition. • Back pain with or without difficulty in rear legs/paralysis • Loss of coordination Intoxication • Cases seen via telemedicine that are not improving • Cytopoint or Cartrophen injections for allergies/chronic pain
