Ep. 30: Vegan Vets, Mixed Animal House Call Practice, and Mezcal; Meet Dr. Daniela Castillo
from House Call Vet Café Podcast · host Eve Harrison, VMD, CVA
Dr. Daniela Castillo attended veterinary school in Mexico, at Universidad Veracruzana. While visiting a functioning pig slaughterhouse, she was so traumatized that she had to seek psychological therapy. The therapist basically gave Daniela two options: quit veterinary school and do something else to help animals or "suck it up" and finish school if she really wanted to become a Veterinarian. Daniela decided to sacrifice her feelings of depression and anxiety and finished veterinary school as the Valedictorian of her class in 2008. She now enjoys a successful career in shelter medicine and high quality high volume spay/neuter.
