Sally Thomson Veterinary
Nurse
Sally has been our longest standing nurse, having been with the clinic for over 10 years.
Although Sally's experience and skills at the clinic are far above any course requirements, she
has completed the formal qualification of Certificate III in Veterinary Nursing.
Sally's main interests are surgical and exotic species nursing - she's the girl if you want a ferret
or goanna held! Sally works part time at the clinic, so she has plenty of time to spend with her husband
John and her boys Jack and Billy, not to mention Puddin, the skateboarding bulldog. |

trips, always a challenge. Desley married Tim in February 06, and will be starting maternity
leave at the end of 2006. |

administration of the family business. She is currently studying for her certificate in Veterinary

work and supporting her 3 no-longer children as they make their own transitions to the workforce,

interest in animal training. She has settled into the practice very well and has done very well
in her first year of Veterinary Nursing studies at Box Hill. Celena is extremely competent in
