The Vet and the Furious- with Sharon Mulindi DVM

When your pet is sick, you bring it to the vet. But when the animal is wild, the vet must come to it. This is what my next guest here on The Snakeman's Lair does on a daily basis- everyone give a warm welcome to Sharon Mulindi DVM! Sharon is a wildlife vet- yes, wild animals get sick too (or shot, or snared, or...) and a simple clinic won't cut it if you have to treat lions or giraffes. Literally, I must say, since Sharon and her colleagues live and work in nature reserves and unprotected areas alike in her native Kenya. In our conversation, Sharon told me all about how one becomes a wildlife vet, her daily routine at work, and the main challenges she faces trying to navigate between unruly animals and even less cooperative people. And yet, she is always on the call to treat any animal in need. To listen to her story, all you have to do is tune in and join us in The Snakeman's Lair!
