In this episode I am joined by Dr. Lily Wilson, a veterinary surgeon who has created a new way of helping horse owners take the very best care of their equine partners. Today we will be talking about needle-shyness, and what we can do to make getting injections a better experience for the horse and the handler.
About the Guest:
Dr. Lily Wilson, BVetMed BSc(Hons) MRCVS, has a wide breadth and depth of passions and expertise. Lily has worked in practice treating pets, horses and livestock in a variety of settings including general practice, in a hospital as an emergency clinician, and volunteering overseas. She has done postgraduate programmes in ecosystem health and in advanced veterinary practice.
Her special interests are: species-appropriate husbandry; anatomy and locomotion; pain physiology; ethical training; and mutually beneficial coexistence of people with the natural world. Lily is now combining her passions into a service that guides animal guardians to nurture all-round wellbeing and partnership.
