Episode 4 - Dr. Teri Sue Wright
This month Dr. Doug Interviews Dr. Teri Sue Wright:
Dr. Wright grew up in New Jersey watching her mother rescue wild animals among the menagerie of their pets. Her horse became her main focus during junior high and high school as she trained and showed in 3-day eventing. That passion took her to a private college in Virginia, where she studied horsemanship and business. She then transferred to Old Dominion University and completed a biology degree in 1991. Her long-term career with animals began with her first job at a veterinary hospital in South Carolina. Seeing a need in the community, she quit to start a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation organization. The seed was planted to become a vet during that project. After moving to Oregon in 1995, she worked at the local humane society in Corvallis for 2 ½ years, then started veterinary school at Oregon State University, graduating in 2001.
While working in a conventional clinic for several years, Teri Sue felt that the medicine she was practicing wasn't quite right, as her patients just didn't seem to be getting well. In 2005, she left the clinic she was working for to focus on her new son who was born with disabilities. His needs led her to research alternative medical practices and changed her whole lifestyle. She began seeing clients in their homes and experimented with putting dogs and cats on raw diets and whole food supplements. Finally she began to feel good about the results she was seeing! She continues to study nutrition and herbal medicine while expanding her mobile practice.
Teri Sue is a single mom of two children, ages 12 and 14, with a new addition of her recently adopted puppy from our local shelter and a few rescued cats. She spends her time volunteering for RideAble, preparing nutrient dense meals, reading, dancing, and being outdoors.
