Ep. 74: "Friends Don't Let Friends Get Male Goats!"; Meet Dr. Gabrielle Wimmer

Dr. Gabrielle Wimmer has been an Upstate New Yorker for her whole life; born and raised in Central NY, went to undergrad at Houghton College in Western New York, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine(c/o 2022)  in the Finger Lakes, and now practices in the Mohawk Valley. She knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age, and always loved farm animals. She now sees a variety of species (ie cattle: dairy and beef, horses, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, llamas, alpacas, pigs, deer, etc) as an associate at a pretty traditional mixed farm animal ambulatory practice, working in both production and pet settings (also does some small animal spay/neuter relief on the side and small animal at home euthanasia). She enjoys living in a quiet rural area with her husband and their three cats: Merry, Lucy, and Tumnus.  Topics covered in this episode:  Dr. Gabrielle's journey to mobile veterinary medicine The challenges & rewards of ambulatory practice Resources for small ruminant medicine Common goat health issues Medication regulations for livestock In-home end-of-life care Links & Resources:  Visit the Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank (FARAD) website at http://www.farad.org Learn more about the Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994 (AMDUCA)  Purchase "Goat Medicine", by Mary C.
