Brenda Caldwell, Vet Tech

I have worked in the animal field for over ten years, including three years working with exotic animals such as ring-tailed lemurs, zebra, elk, tapers, and wild cats. For three years I ran a kennel, worked with cattle and horses, and helped in surgery with the boss. I have always loved animals and grew up knowing I would work in this field — I have been at Quitman Animal Clinic since 2005 and I love my job! I am a CVA II Certified Tech, and am working on CVA III.

I have a wonderful husband, Joe; two daughters, Rachel, 25 years old and Lacy, 19 yrs old; and a grandson, born in July 2009. A firefighter for the past nine years, I hold an array of certifications including First Responder, NIMS, and CPR. I believe that “if you stop learning you stop living”. I enjoy riding motorcycles, long walks, fishing, dirt track racing, and being outside with family, friends, and animals. I have 9 cats, 3 dogs, 3 horses, and several tropical fish.
