Equine Dentistry

Gaby started her career as an equine intern in private practice in the Netherlands immediately after graduation from the University of Ghent, Belgium in 2003. Following this internship she started a residency program in equine internal medicine at the University of Liege, Belgium and passed the exam of the European College of Equine Internal Medicine in 2009. Here, she also obtained a PhD on the subject of atypical myopathy. In 2011 she left Liege and has since taken up clinical academic positions at the University of Uppsala, Copenhagen and Sydney, and has run together with her husband a private hospital in Germany. In 2017, she was awarded the title of Diplomate of the European College of Emergency and Critical care. Since January 2022 she returned to Australia and joined Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital.

Gaby’s interests and expertise lie in equine internal medicine and emergency and critical care. She has a special clinical interest in critically ill patients such as horses with acute colic or diarrhea, acute neuromuscular disorders and sick neonatal foals, and the use of thoracic and abdominal ultrasonography in those patients.

Gaby has publications on various aspects of equine internal medicine with a particular focus on neuromuscular disorders and monitoring tools of the sick horse. She is author or co-author of over 70 international peer reviewed scientific publications and book chapters, and has given numerous presentations at national and international congresses. She thoroughly enjoys teaching postgraduate veterinarians.
