Dr

陳綽姿醫生
BVSc (Melbourne)
Member of Hong Kong Veterinary Association
Member of Australian Veterinary Association
Current Student of Murdoch University Master of Veterinary Science
Dr. Wallis grew up in
a home with a rabbit, four chinchillas, three cats and a tank of gold
fish. The affinity for animals was always there, but the turning point
was when her pregnant Persian cat, Furby, needed an emergency Cesarean
section. Fortunately the mother and all the kittens survived. Dr
Wallis, as a young girl, spent over a month nursing the recovering
queen and the kittens. That's when she knew what she wanted to be
– a veterinarian. She became the valedictorian of her local high
school and received scholarship funding from the Agriculture, Fisheries
and Conservation Department and started her veterinary journey in the
University of Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Wallis received her
qualification in 2007.
Dr. Wallis has a
special interest in diagnostic medicine and surgery, and especially so
in small animal behavioral studies. Dr Wallis sees a lot more
behavioral consultations in Hong Kong, where space is limited, and cats
and dogs cannot express their natural behavior as freely as they can.
Dr Wallis believes the role of a veterinarian is to translate that need
from pets to owner, thus strengthening the human-animal bond.
Dr. Wallis is now
furthering her professional skills by undertaking the Master of
Veterinary Science (Small Animal Practice) with the Murdoch University
Australia.
Professional
memberships include BVSc (Melbourne); The Hong Kong Veterinary
Association and the Australian Veterinary
Association.
關於陳綽姿醫生
陳綽姿醫生從小就和家中的一隻兔子、四隻龍貓、
三隻貓和一整缸金魚一起成長。她一直喜愛小動物,但她人生的轉捩點是在她家中波斯貓Furby分娩的時候。當時Furby需要作剖腹生產,幸好最後母子平
安。仍是小女孩的陳醫生則在Furby產後一個月期間一直護理她們。那時候陳醫生發現了她的夢想-成為一名獸醫。在此之後,她成為高中的畢業生代表,並且
獲得漁護署頒發的獎學金給她留學。陳醫生在澳洲University of Melbourne專攻獸醫,並於二零零七年取得專業資格。
陳醫生對診斷治療及手術特別有興趣,對小動物的
行為學尤其熱忱。在香港寵物可以活動的空間不大,因此貓狗不能像在大自然生活一般自由,生活習慣也受到影響。陳醫生認為獸醫有責任將寵物的需要轉達予主
人,從而增強雙方的聯繫。
陳醫生為了精益求精,在澳洲Murdoch
University攻讀Master of Veterinary Science (Small Animal Practice)。
她擁有的專業會員資格包括BVSc
(Melbourne); The Hong Kong Veterinary Association 及 Australian
Veterinary Association。
