I have lived on a farm majority of my life assisting in managing sheep and cattle. I was involved in training the sheep dogs my family owned. I have had the opportunity to hand raise a number of different types of domestic livestock, native and exotic animals. I was vet nursing for 7 years, worked in dog kennels for 2 years, I obtained certificate 4 in vet nursing. I have been zoo keeping for 31 years working with many different exotic animals. I have completed certificate 1-4 in zoo keeping. I also have a diploma of applied science and animal technology and completed a captive management course. I have my own pets these are couple sheep, a goat, 2 dogs, a possum, and only recently having to put my horse to sleep after caring for him for 28 years. I would like to help other people who own pets and need help. Having much experience hopefully will put yourself at ease if I had a chance to care for your previous pet.
