Anna O’Brien, DVM, is currently a large animal ambulatory veterinarian in central Maryland. From miniature horses to zebras at the local zoo, her practice tackles anything equine in nature with a few cows, goats, sheep, pigs, llamas, and alpacas thrown in for good measure. She lacks the time for her own horse at the moment, instead making do with a dog and three cats.
