About Vet

Hello! Originally from Nigeria, I received my Biological Sciences and Veterinary medicine degrees in South Africa.

I've been a practicing vet in various parts of the UK over the last 13 years, specifically working in small animal private practice.

Having fostered and rescued a few animals over the years, I currently reside in Manchester with my rescue black cat Salem. I enjoy anime and Kdrama, and actively play social tag rugby for a Manchester league.

Please be aware that due to strict regulations set by the UK veterinary governing body, I won't be able to provide prescriptions. Instead, I'm happy to advise about alternative over-the-counter options that can be used safely.

I particularly love consulting and assisting pet owners directly, so feel free to ask me any questions about your fur buddy's health. I will endeavour to give you clear advice to ease any worries.

I sought Philomena's advice as a second opinion, as I was not unsure about the diagnosis from the IRL vet. Philomena discussed her take on the problem in depth and gave me solid advice for the further management of my dog. I am reassured and content. Thank you, Philomena.

It was great to speak to an expert in animal health. We were advised at the end to see a vet that we tried to avoid as our dog gets very agitated when a stranger tries to get close to him. Philomena was very friendly, helpful and provided us with lots of useful information.

Great recommendations given that can be tried fairly swiftly. Dr. Philomena was friendly, caring and took the time to listen and understand. Having a vet appointment from home was great for my dog who is terrified of vet surgeries, and Dr. Philomena was fantastic with making suggestions as to what could be causing the issues, with a list of various possibilities and action plans for each one. Highly recommended vet. Thank you!
