“If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. You’ve nothing to worry about there.”

James Herriot

Welcome to PetiScience

I created this blog as part of a course project while I was working on my master’s degree, but then decided to keep up with it. The purpose of this blog is to disseminate information about animal science and veterinary medicine. As a current veterinary student, I find that writing on these topics helps to reinforce my understanding of them as well. It’s also cathartic as I genuinely enjoy writing, and veterinary medicine is something I can talk about for hours. Indeed, my family frequently requests that I put a sock in it.

Prior to starting my veterinary degree, I completed a Master of Science in Animal Bioscience, specialized in physiology at the University of Guelph, in Ontario Canada. I also have an undergraduate degree, a BSc. in Animal Biology, from the same school. I presently am studying Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nicosia on the beautiful island of Cyprus, with hopes to one day open an emergency practice.

Learning is a life-long process. Whether you’re here to find information on a specific topic, or because you just like science and or animals, or for another reason entirely, I hope that you are able to leave with a little more wisdom than you had before.

I thank you for visiting PetiScience and learning with me today. Enjoy!
