Vanneza

Vanneza joined the team at Moorabbin Veterinary Hospital in 2018, having started her veterinary nursing career in 2011. Vanneza worked in a large veterinary clinic in Dubai for eight years where she gained experience in all areas of veterinary nursing. She often had falcons as patients, and big cats like lions, tigers and leopards weren’t uncommon either!

Vanneza thoroughly enjoys all aspects of veterinary nursing, particularly surgery, anaesthesia and dental procedures.

"It has always been my passion to take care of animals"

When she is not working she enjoys gardening and spending time with her husband and son. Vanneza has a rescue budgerigar called Moora and a Maltese x called Thirdy.

Wildlife & H5 Bird Flu – Important Information

We continue to provide care for injured wildlife, including wild birds. However, due to the detection of H5 bird flu in Victoria, please call us before bringing any wild bird to the clinic. Our team will assess the situation and advise you on the safest next steps.

If you find multiple sick or dead birds, or a bird showing unusual neurological or respiratory signs, please avoid contact with the bird and contact the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

Please report even a single sick or dead seabird, waterbird, shorebird or bird of prey.
Do not handle dead birds.

Thank you for helping us protect wildlife, our patients, staff and the wider community.
