Dr Cathy Skinner is a female Veterinarian.
Dr Cathy Skinner is a Senior Veterinarian with Para Hills Veterinary Clinic who joined our team in 2001. "I am truly one of those people who only ever wanted to be a vet," she says. "I do not know how old I was when I made the decision, or why, but the desire never changed."
Dr. Skinner spent her childhood in Oxford, England and Adelaide, South Australia, and attended the University of Adelaide and Flinders University, where she earned a degree in science and veterinary science. She earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from University of Queensland. She is a member of the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society and her professional interests include surgery, dentistry, medicine, acupuncture, and rabbit medicine and surgery.
"I love surgery – it is like doing a giant jigsaw puzzle but with more rewarding, lasting results," she says. "Getting to know my clients and patients is a satisfying component – some have become friends. The relationship generated is fulfilling – knowing you have not just the knowledge, but also the desire to help another living creature."
