I have understood animals since I was a child, and especially dogs are close to my heart. There are three Jack Russell Terriers in my family. I started working as a veterinarian in 2016, treating all species of animals as a municipal veterinarian. From 2019, I switched to treating only Small Animals and started familiarizing myself with their skin and ear diseases with ESAVS specialization studies (The European School for Advanced Veterinary Studies). Today, my special interests are allergies, autoimmune skin diseases and ear diseases and their treatment.
