Dr Rebekah Day is a female Veterinarian.

I grew up on a property in a very small country town in North Queensland. My parents indulged my love for animals by providing everything from dogs and cats to chickens and geese to horses and cattle, even a frilled-neck lizard that regularly attended the BBQs on our back lawn!

My love of the country life and large animals has meant I have spent my entire veterinary career in small, country communities, working on whatever species of animal that came through the door. I’ve dealt with many interesting animals and illnesses, including treating a lion with kidney failure, diagnosing and trying to treat a Hendra horse and, recently, discovering a previously unknown genetic disease in terriers.

I absolutely love my job and I can’t imagine working as anything else but a veterinarian, even with the after hours cases!
