She also explains why she decided to go from general practice to ECC (after considering becoming a supermodel first). Anita share some wise advice for her 18-year old self and a 60-Second CPD which turns puppy socialisation on it&#8217;s head! Lastly, we have an important discussion about mental health within the veterinary industry, Anita&#8217;s difficult journey to achieve mental wellness and her passion for promoting this issue to the general public.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/veterinaryramblings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Support the show<\/a>
