CPVETS would like to officially welcome Dr. Liam McConnell to our team!
I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana originally but moved to Lexington, Kentucky very early in my life. I went to high school there and graduated from Centre college in Danville, Kentucky as a biology major. I always knew I wanted to work with animals and began doing so as early as 8th grade, but it was during college and the year following that I got very serious about it. I have had a broad range of experiences from research in tropical rainforests with leaf cutter ants to fast paced emergency settings with small animals and exotics. I eventually ended up in vet school at Virginia Tech, and this is where I adopted my cat, Margaret and ultimately decided to accept a position with CPVets! I enjoy bodybuilding and hiking in the mountains when I have time, and I also enjoy playing video games and anything Lord of the Rings related. My special interest is in feline medicine and bettering not only their experience and treatment in a hospital setting, but their owners experience as well in caring for them at home.
