What’s wrong with my beardie?

How do I treat this dyspnoeic budgie?

How can I become an Exotic vet?

I have asked these questions and a lot more!

My name is Simon and I am an Exotic veterinarian in Australia. I have done many different things as a vet but after all I’ve seen, I have found Exotic medicine and surgery the most interesting and challenging! If you think so too, you have come to the right place!

This is the Inquisitive Vet. A blog and podcast where we explore all aspects of Exotic medicine and surgery, and anything else I and followers of the IV podcast, find interesting. I have started this to help vets, nurses and students around the world to listen and learn from the best mentors and veterinary leaders at the forefront of veterinary medicine and technology today.

This blog is also a way for me to keep track of my veterinary journey and the insights and lessons I learn along the way. Please join me as we listen to some of the world’s best specialists in Exotic medicine share their knowledge and experience across a wide array of different species.

Without further ado, welcome to the Inquisitive Vet!
