Most exotic patients: A western lowland gorilla with a tooth-root abscess, a snow leopard needing vaccinations, a sea lion with an
intestinal obstruction, and an African elephant whose tusk needed a root canal. “I did an externship during school at the Pittsburgh Zoo.”
Most memorable case: “I treated a Boston terrier who ate $2.56 in change, some of which were zinc-rich pennies. They caused a severe case of anemia, which required a transfusion.”
