Introducing our current rotating interns! If you’ve come into South Eastern lately you would have likely met our three lovely interns Dr Grace Peck, Dr Maddie Hawkins and Dr Genevieve Williamson.

Grace graduated from Melbourne University in 2024, and has a particular interest in reproduction, medicine and anaesthesia. Grace has always loved horses and currently owns three of her own horses. In the future Grace has ambitions of completing an equine reproduction residency or complete veterinary memberships based on her interests.

Maddie graduated from James Cook University in 2023 and has been an intern at SEEH since June 2024. Maddie’s interest in horses begun from a young age, growing up on a farm and riding a naughty unbroken Shetland pony! Maddie competed in eventing until she moved to Queensland to complete her studies. Today, Maddie has a strong interest in medicine and aims to complete memberships in the future.

Genevieve graduated from the University of Adelaide in 2024, and is our most recently started intern. Gen grew up riding horses and worked in an eventing yard in the UK after high school. Surgery and medicine is Gen’s main interests and in the future hopes to be a well rounded GP vet. Through her internship she hopes to strengthen her clinical and practical skills, and gain confidence in case management.

Our internship program provides a rotating roster between anaesthesia, hospital and the shadowing of an equine specialist. The aim of this program is to provide veterinarians with a broad range of skills, knowledge and experience of equine practice, learning alongside our senior associates, specialists and surgeons.

🌼MEET TAFFY🌼

Taffy is a 33 year old pony who was referred to SEEH for colic non-responsive to initial treatment. Taffy was administered pain relief and given fluids intravenously and via a stomach tube, however he began to show signs of colic breaking through his pain relief. This indicated that medical management for his colic was not sufficient and a decision needed to be made. Taffy’s very dedicated owners wanted to do everything to save his life despite his old age and his pre-existing conditions (Cushings disease and a marked heart murmur) and were informed all of the risks and complications moving forward with surgical treatment.

Taffy underwent a general anaesthetic with Dr Mackenzie and colic surgery was performed by Dr Gareth with Dr Melissa assisting. The exploratory laparotomy revealed an impaction of his large colon (pelvic flexure) where poorly chewed feed (due poor dental heath) had become stuck along with some sand causing a blockage. This impaction was removed and the excessive gas in his caecum was evacuated. Taffy recovery very well from his anaesthetic.

Taffy remained in hospital and recovered very well post-op with no significant complications. At this time a new dietary management plan was put in place to ensure he could digest his food properly to prevent future impactions and he underwent a dental with Dr Kate. His heart murmur was investigated with Dr Laura with an echocardiogram and ongoing treatment started to help improve his cardiac health.

Taffy’s dedicated owners made a yard for him at home so he could continue his recovery at home. Taffy was very loved by everyone in hospital but we were very happy to see him go home!
