𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐑 𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐊𝐄 🌟🩺

Dr Olivia joined the team in October of 2024. Olivia completed her Bachelor of Science majoring in Veterinary Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne, and subsequently achieved accelerated entry into the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Melbourne.

Olivia loves far too many parts of her job to name, and thoroughly enjoys both medical cases & surgery. In particular, she enjoys behavioural consults, with an emphasis on helping identify why worried or anxious behaviours may be occurring, in situations including separation anxiety, thunderstorm anxiety, or dogs & cats that are struggling on a more day to day basis.

Olivia grew up riding horses and competing in dressage in the Yarra Valley. She currently competes on her beautiful black warmblood, Turtle, who is a sweet boy that gets far too many carrots. Olivia also has a very lovely Rottweiler, Kobe, that she rescued in 2022.

In her spare time when she’s not at the stables, Olivia loves finding the best coffee spots, traveling to new places, and going on walks with her sidekick Kobe. 🐶🩷

🐍 As we head into warmer weather, snakes are becoming more active, so it’s important to keep a close eye on your pets and take steps to minimise their risk of encountering a snake 🐍

𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙨𝙣𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚:
• sudden collapse
• difficulty breathing
• excessive drooling
• dilated pupils

𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙠:
• keep grass short and regularly mown
• avoid walking your pet in long grass or keep them on a lead
• clear away timber and debris from around your home

Snake venom is life-threatening and requires immediate veterinary attention.

𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚: Forest Hill Vet does not stock antivenom. In case of snake bite, seek emergency care as soon as possible.
