5 minutes with Hollie

This month we put your questions to vet Hollie!

Was it always your plan to become a vet?

Yes; I knew from the age of 8 that I wanted to be a vet. I did research and everything I could to get myself started. It became a bit of an obsession.

If you could work with only one animal species in the world what would you choose?

Dogs… I find they are the easiest to work with. A very forgiving animal that shows unconditional love.

What is the most unusual animal you have treated?

Probably a little budgie. At my old job I treated this budgie that used to jump up on mine and the owners shoulder in the consultation room.

What job would you have done if you hadn’t become a vet?

A dentist as I do like teeth! I enjoy doing our dental procedures.

What is your idea of a perfect day off?

I like to relax at home with Olaf (my pet rabbit) watching reality TV and Disney+.

If you could visit any country in the world where would you go and why?

Either Italy for the food as I really like pizza or somewhere tropical like the Maldives for the beach as it would be very relaxing.

What’s the most complex surgery you have had to do?

I’d say a c-section. Since being with James Horner Vets it’s a skill I’ve developed, as before being here I’d never had to do one.

What’s your favourite sweet treat?

Anything Cadburys as I love chocolate!
