He's back!! Dr. Michael Scott will be covering for our hospital next week June 5 - 12 and again from July 18 - 31.

Dr. Scott ia a Board Certified Specialist in Large Animal Surgery (Diplomate ACVS), Board Certified Specialist in Veterinary Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation (Diplomate ACVSMR – Equine) as well as being an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.

He was born and raised on the lower mainland and developed a love of horses and equestrian sport at a young age. Early experiences with the Maple Ridge Pony Club and 3-Day Eventing led to a professional career with horses, first as a trainer and certified riding instructor in England and then as a veterinarian.

Mike graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon in 1993, and then continued his training to become an equine surgery specialist in 1999. He worked as an equine surgeon at Moore Equine Veterinary Center in Calgary from 1999 to 2016, becoming an owner and partner. In 2012 he completed the certification examinations to be recognized as a specialist in equine sports medicine, the first Canadian vet to do so. In 2016 Dr. Scott joined the veterinary faculty at the University of Calgary, where he currently works as an educator, researcher, and clinician.

He lives on a ranch near Longview, Alberta with his family. His wife Shawna Sapergia is a professional horse trainer, and together they are involved in farming, raising cattle and raising and training reining horses.

We are really happy to welcome Dr. Scott back to PMVS!!

Dr. Albert Torrent will be our locum surgeon next week helping us out while Dr. Bonomelli and Dr. Graham are off.

Dr. Torrent is an assistant professor in large animal surgery at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph.

In 2005, Dr. Torrent obtained his LV (Licencia Veterinaria) from the Universidad Cardenal Herrera-CEU in Valencia, Spain. He went on to complete internships at several private equine practices around Europe and in Canada, as well as at the Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He then obtained additional work experience from private equine practices as well as private large animal practices in France, Belgium, and Canada. Following that, he attended the University of California-Davis to begin a large animal surgery residency, completing his residency in 2017. Dr. Torrent was designated an American College of Veterinary Surgeons Diplomate (Large Animal) in 2019 and then worked for several years as an equine surgeon at the University of Montreal.

While at the Ontario Veterinary College, Dr. Torrent has focused on equine clinical work primarily in the OVC Large Animal Clinic as an equine emergency surgeon and participated in teaching in the OVC DVM and graduate programs. His research interests include projects with direct clinical application that will result in quality of life and outcome improvements in equine patients.

We are so pleased to have an equine surgeon as talented and experienced as Dr. Torrent being available to give us a hand this week!

We had to say the saddest of goodbyes to our sweet old office kitty Goose yesterday. He has been a fixture in our front office for many years and it won’t be the same without him.

From having to have his own special cup of water to drink on Lisa’s desk, sitting on all of Susan’s paperwork and refusing to budge one iota, sneaking into the office in the middle of the night when emergencies arrived to greeting select clients at the front door…he was a real character.

He had a last meal of sashimi and went peacefully and painlessly in the care of gentle hands in the company of people he knew.

It’s strange how the smallest of creatures can take up such a huge place in our hearts.

We all loved you so much Goose and will miss you forever💔
