Show notes

In this special edition we interview Australian exotics veterinarian Tristan Rich. Tristan 'went viral' after he performed a tumour removal from a goldfish, recording hundreds of thousands of hits on local media and articles relating to the surgery were published in around 150 newspapers worldwide. Tristan was interviewed at the UPAV exotics conference in late 2018, and we discuss how he became 'famous' on the internet, together with some great stories about his work with Orangutans in Indonesia. We were pleased to see Tristan received the Toady Award at the conference for the most entertaining and informative speaker - well deserved, as his presentation was both informative and very, very funny.
