BA, BVBiol, DVM (Syd), Veterinarian
Dr Sarah Foo is a female Veterinarian.
From a young age, Sarah has always been involved in rescuing and caring for various animals, volunteering for animal shelters and wildlife organisations, and organising many fundraising events. Prior to enrolling in the DVM, Sarah became the default wildlife rescuer at her Government job. It was only after receiving long service leave that she finally pursued her true passion for animals, completing qualifications as a veterinary nurse, then on to a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology and finally, graduating as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Sydney.
Sarah is very passionate about animal welfare, having received the John Holt Scholarship for Animal Welfare during the DVM and completed training in fear-free handling in various species. She has also written several articles for the RSPCA knowledge based on the care of exotic species.
Sarah also has a special interest in wildlife and exotic pet medicine and has been a wildlife carer for many years, completing additional training in Australian wildlife species, including reptiles, aquatic species, birds and small mammals. Over the years, she has rescued, rehabilitated and released a plethora of Australian natives, and it is not unusual for her to share her home with a variety of different species at any one time.
Sarah has also had additional training in exotics pets, including rabbits, rodents, ferrets and birds, and has many of these species in her own home rescued from various precarious situations.
In her final year of the DVM, Sarah published her first paper on rabbit anaesthesia, which was awarded The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Veterinary Evidence Student Award.
