Kingaroy Veterinary Surgery’s Megan Weller, Stephen Upton and Melita Sanders with “Takani”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 18, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who says young people don’t come back after they head off to uni? Megan Weller, from Wooroolin, graduated from the University of Queensland last Wednesday as a Bachelor of Veterinary Science, and started work in Kingaroy on Monday.<\/p>\n

Megan attended Kingaroy State High School. After Year 12, she deferred her uni entry for a year so she could complete a vet nursing traineeship at Stephen Upton’s Kingaroy Veterinary Surgery.<\/p>\n

She then headed off to uni, completing her degree over five years at the St Lucia and Gatton campuses.<\/p>\n

Megan’s now back at the Kingaroy Veterinary Surgery and is already into the swing of things.<\/p>\n

Practice Manager Melita Sanders says the surgery has been “really, really busy” lately, with holidaymakers getting their pets’ vaccinations up-to-date and people taking last-minute advantage of the RSPCA’s reduced-price desexing campaign which finishes on December 28.<\/p>\n

(Vouchers for the scheme can be purchased from the RSPCA shelter near the airport, participating vets and South Burnett Regional Council offices).<\/p>\n

Melita, who’s been at the surgery for two years, is another local product … a proud graduate of Nanango State High School.<\/p>\n

She said vets all over south-east Queensland were also being kept busy at the moment treating dogs with parvovirus.<\/p>\n

“There’s lots of parvo in the area at the moment, and it’s so contagious,” Melita said.<\/p>\n

“It’s rampant down in Brisbane as well. It’s so much easier – and cheaper – just to get your dog vaccinated than having to treat it if it becomes sick.”<\/p>\n

The recent hot weather has also led to a number of dogs being treated for heat stress at the Kingaroy surgery. Heatstroke can be fatal if not treated quickly.<\/p>\n

PS. This isn’t the first time Megan Weller’s been in the news … back in 2006 while she was still in high school she was involved in an innovative research project<\/a> with the then-DPI into peanut germination.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
