Karen Scherrer has been a registered veterinary technician for 25 years this month. Ironically, she is officially retiring after spending the past 10+ years of focused effort for supposed major animal welfare organizations, as she has been consistently disappointed in the real-life scenarios that have played out behind the scenes. The most recent scenario was her experience helping to rescue a historic retrieval of 4000 beagles from a research breeding compound. She has worked in every aspect of veterinary medicine imaginable, from the now-closed Wildlife Way Station, feeding donuts to bears, tube feeding newborn squirrels, restraining caymans while doctors searched for a vein to high-kill shelters, zoos, small animal hospitals, equine rescue, mobile medicine and traveling to multiple separate catastrophic events.  Within one year, Karen practiced along a spectrum from living in a tent following Hurricane Katrina, opening makeshift shelters at abandoned senior centers in Louisiana, and perishes she can not even pronounce.  She also scrubbed in on neurosurgery cases and traveled to perform anesthesia in general practices as a mobile surgery technician with a board-certified surgeon.  Hands down, her favorite area of practice has been the LA zoo. Karen is married to a board-certified small animal surgeon who she met while working as a mobile technician, and even behind the mask and cap, he still called her.  They have a 15-year-old daughter, two angelic Golden Retrievers, and live in Carlsbad, CA.

She opted to go mobile (after fuming in her office, upset about some current clinic policies and flipping thru a vet magazine and seeing a Laboit ad) because it was an economical way to start a business and had a great client following.

Dr. Evarest Maguo has been a veterinarian for over thirty years, and in 1997 he established his own veterinary practice and mobile clinic, along with his wife, Mrs. Evelyne.  They are both experienced in agricultural services, environmental work, and the provision of veterinary care and animal welfare education. Evarest has been working as a vet since 1990 and holds a degree in Environmental Science and a Masters in Zoology. He is supported by his wife Evelyne, who has a certificate in agriculture and livestock and currently operates their agricultural and vet supply shop. They also have an on-site shelter that they use to house and treat a range of animals that require specific care. It is their end goal to re-home these animals to good homes. Their clinic and shelter are in Sekai, Arusha and they also offer a mobile clinic service in Arusha and nearby areas. Interview Answers: Ground nuts   Yes, I was born in Dodoma, but I have been in Arusha for three-quarters of my life. I did my Veterinary training in Arusha as well. There are some other vets in Arusha, but they do not offer a mobile service. We are also very committed to improving animal welfare, whereas most vets in the area are not as passionate as us here at Elang'ata Agrovet.   The tribe that I originate from in Dodoma is called the Go-go tribe and they are livestock keepers, and with my late brother also being a vet, I became very interested in animals from a young age. As I grew up, I entered a livestock/ agricultural secondary school to pursue my interest in animals. After school, I then went to vet college in Arusha, once I graduated, I was employed by the government in 1990 as an animal welfare inspector for several years. I then decided to retire, and start my own company in 1997, and so Elang'ata Agrovet was born!   There are two areas to the vet, and mobile clinic and a stationary clinic. Mobile services are beneficial because I can take in my surroundings of the animal, and through this, I am able to gain a better understanding of why the animal may be ill or sick. Sometimes, it is obvious that people that take their animal to eh stationary vet sometimes do not tell the full truth, and so it is difficult to tell why the animal may be unwell. Participation by the whole family of a given client is important because I can educate more people, and more people become accountable for the animal's health at the same time. When funding opportunities are available, we also try to carry out vaccination clinics, outreach programmes, education programmes.   What is it like being a vet in Tanzania – To be a vet here is challenging because sometimes you want to reach a lot of people, but you can be, and usually are incredibly restricted by the money made available. We get very little government funding which makes it difficult to provide a service.  There is also very little awareness of animal welfare in Arusha and Tanzania, so even in the Police, for example, it is very difficult to regulate new animal welfare legislation. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that knows! Again, some concepts of animal welfare are completely new to Tanzanians, re-homing for example – people are not educated in re-homing of animals and its benefits, so it makes it difficult to re-home dogs at the shelter.   We treat a range of animals big and small! Day-to-day work usually includes chickens, donkeys, cows, cats and, dogs. I am prepared to answer a call for any animal!  -We sometimes do joint vaccination programmes around the national parks here, including the Serengeti! We vaccinate animals around the national parks, which in turn decreases the transmission rate of diseases like rabies into safari animals.   Everything! Surgeries such as neutering and spaying, amputation etc, vaccinations, diagnosis, pregnancies, artificial insemination and many more! Rehabilitation, continuous treatment, antibiotics etc.   In Tanzania, we have a lack of even basic medical equipment that we need daily, not to mention the lack of state of art equipment. We have no x-ray or ultrasounds, which means we must diagnose every single case visually. There is also a lack of specific drugs for specific diseases. This means simple treatment, such as the use of antibiotics, is not as efficient and targeted as we would like.   As mentioned, there is a lack of general funding and support from the government, which really is the cause of a lot of the issues we have here. There is also a lack of knowledge and education of animal welfare leading to a lack of care and poor animal welfare. This is where outreach and education funding can be so important. Country infrastructure can also make things difficult. There are some very difficult areas to access, and rising fuel costs certainly don't make things easy! Many locals also do not have the money to provide proper care for their animals, and I cannot afford to give out medical treatment for free, unfortunately.   Question not quite understood – can you please elaborate? You must be prepared to work around the clock and be prepared to give up many things. You must be prepared to be called out for the mobile clinic, for example, I had to explain to my wife on my wedding day why I had to take the medical bag along with me! You must be ready to learn online, we are no longer at university, so you need to stay up to date with new equipment, new techniques etc. Being ready to take on a wide variety of animals We have an animal welfare trust fund called the Protection of Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). We aim to improve the lives of domestic, farm and working animals in Tanzania through education, advocacy, and on-ground clinics & workshops. On a given day, we can have several groups of volunteers and students coming to learn and gain experience in veterinary practice whilst also getting a cultural experience at our homestay too!   We have recently joined the Workaway programme, so we can host up to six Workaway volunteers at a time. We provide accommodation and food in return for work at the shelter, and volunteers get the opportunity to see how we carry out surgeries and vaccination clinics etc.   Spiced tea! But I also like to drink a pint of soured milk before bed! and my new volunteers have me hooked on Cadbury's hot chocolate!

There's much to glean from this conversation, even if you aren't a mobile veterinarian.

Dr. Nia Perkins has been a practicing veterinarian for almost 20 years. A graduate of Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine, she dreamed of becoming a vet since she was a child growing up in Chicago.

Her career has taken many twists and turns, and she has learned so much along the way. Twenty years in, she has finally figured out what brings her joy. Nia wants to help you find your rightful place, whether that's in the profession or not so that you can spend the rest of your time enjoying life.

Join me today as I speak with the amazing, Dr. Christie Cornelius about neurodiversity, retirement, corporate house call practices, and more!  Christie was born and raised in Dubuque, Iowa, where she graduated with a B.S. degree in Biology from Loras College in 1997.  Wanting to develop her career in a warmer climate near big cities, she moved to Texas and began a Master's Program in Zoology while engaging in research for the National Fisheries and Wildlife Department.  While in this program, she applied and was accepted to Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 2004.  She moved to Houston, TX to start her career as a small animal GP, eventually moving into emergency medicine, where she developed her passion for assisting families with decision-making and euthanasia.  In 2012, she created Last Wishes, a mobile euthanasia, and pet hospice service in Houston, eventually re-branding to Senior Paws and expanding it into an interdisciplinary team of 25 pet hospice professionals.  In 2015, she started The Last Wishes Fund, a non-profit 501c3 organization to help struggling families afford end-of-life services in the Greater Houston area.  In 2017, Christie opened the first pet hospice center in Texas, and added pet aquamation services, offering a robust A to Z end-of-life operation to her community.  In 2021, she sold both services to BluePearl Veterinary Specialists and stayed on as a Medical Director to help develop a global Pet Hospice initiative.  Wanting to develop her business and leadership skills to a higher level to open herself up for more opportunities outside of a corporate structure, she recently decided to leave BluePearl to pursue an Executive MBA Degree from Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Business to help other independent veterinarians improve the success of their mobile practices despite the rise in corporate consolidation in the end-of-life space.

WhiskerCloud CEO Adam Greenbaum chats with Dr. Eve Harrison of Marigold Veterinary about the current state of veterinary medicine, discussing financial information with clients, and why the industry needs more leadership training.

Dr. Eve Harrison, VMD, CVA has over 15 years of experience working in general practice, surgical practice, emergency/specialty hospitals, pet rehabilitation and swim centers, wildlife centers, and shelters. By Michael Tetreault We recently sat down with with Dr. Eve Harrison, VMD, CVA of Marigold Veterinary, a traveling house call veterinarian serving the greater Los Angeles area. Dr. Harrison deliberately keeps her practice small, as she treats each pet individually as though they were her own. When she treats an animal, she does not see just their disease or physical body. She sees the whole animal, their personality, as well as the needs of their family. We unpack her story, her practice and we know you'll see a lot of connection between her business model, entrepreneurial spirit and your own.
