Clinical Director

Melanie has been at Mildmay since 1988. She graduated from Bristol in 1987 and has a special interest in heart problems, holding a certificate in veterinary cardiology. She is a RCVS advanced practitioner in veterinary cardiology and accepts referrals from other practices. Melanie enjoys ultrasound scanning and finds it very rewarding to help animals to get the maximum enjoyment out of life by managing their heart problems. She enjoys playing piano, reading with her black and white lap-cat named Minty and running – trying to keep up (unsuccessfully) with her very fast Greyhound cross Saluki, Luna.
