Sylvia-Anne Farmer

I've managed overnight emergency caseloads at TAH Bellville 24-Hour Hospital as the sole-charge veterinarian, handling 15–20 emergency consultations per shift and overseeing up to 30 hospitalised and ICU patients.

I now work in full-time first-opinion small animal practice at TAH Kenridge Animal Hospital, managing medical and surgical cases from diagnosis through follow-up. I perform routine soft tissue surgery, diagnostics, anaesthesia and client consultations while coordinating care with specialists when needed.

My community service as a State Veterinarian with the Western Cape Department of Agriculture built my experience in veterinary public health, disease surveillance, biosecurity, import/export certification and regulatory compliance.

I'm drawn to remote veterinary work where I can apply clear clinical reasoning and compassionate communication in telemedicine, medical review, pet insurance assessment, veterinary consulting or technical services.
