#33 - Dr Vicky Brownlie knew she wanted to be a veterinarian at the incredibly young age of 4; and having grown up with birds and rabbits, it is no surprise that she was drawn to the discipline of exotic medicine. Vicky's special interest in the more unlikely pets (which including snakes, lizards and frogs), led her to pursue her ANZCVS Memberships in Unusual Pet Medicine and Surgery - an achievement shared by only a handful of other veterinarians.

During the episode, Vicky talks openly about the challenges she experienced during university, and how she overcame them. As a passionate advocate for the welfare of small furries, she identifies the three key areas she feels all general practitioners should be competent in when it comes to the veterinary care of rabbits and guinea pigs. She also shares with us her thoughts on the aspects in which our industry could be doing better, why we shouldn't be afraid of trying of new things, and how empowering pet owners through education is one her favourite things about being a veterinary professional.
