Animal Rescue: How Veterinarians Prevent Illnesses And Heal Animals

Hi, everyone! I'm Rhoda and I live in a country area where I am part of the local koala rescue team. It is simply my job to drive the van, but over the years I've learnt a lot about koalas and their care. Since there aren't a lot of facilities in the area, people often call us to help with other injured animals such as kangaroos, stray dogs and birds. My favourite was a runaway Shetland pony! We take many of the animals to a veterinary clinic in a nearby town and I have gained a lot of knowledge about their ability to prevent illnesses as well as heal animals. I have started this blog to share my admiration and knowledge for veterinary services. I hope you find something of interest.
