Dr. Budiselic (pronounced Bew-di-selick) graduated from the WCVM in 2005 with Distinction.  She subsequently obtained certifications in Equine and Canine Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation, Veterinary Acupuncture, and Veterinary Pain Management.  Dr. Budiselic is an avid athlete, and participates in endurance sports (trail running/cycling/long distance hiking), and she is certified as a human personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist.  As a veterinary rehabilitation practitioner, Dr. Budiselic has experience with all stages of canine mobility from puppy-hood to geriatrics.  She has experience treating cats and rabbits as well and loves seeing them in her treatment room.  All aspects of veterinary rehabilitation interest her, but she does have a soft spot for seniors, treating dogs with chronic conditions and palliative (end of life) care.  Sporting dogs are a definite interest as well as managing the day to day needs of puppies and adult dogs with an urban and rural lifestyle.  Dr. Budiselic has taught equine rehabilitation at the ARI in Florida, and has lectured on canine and equine rehabilitation.  She also enjoys mentoring DVM's interested in pursuing or expanding their career in the field of veterinary physical rehabilitation.  When not working in the clinic, growing the practice and seeing clients, Dr. Budiselic may be seeming roaming the mountain passes like the elusive Sasquatch, gardening, planning far out trips, kayaking, beading and watercolor painting.
