Episode: 29/ Season 2 / January 17, 2023

Meet Dr. Breslin, A Pet Pig Specialist!

Hi I am Dr. Bridget Breslin. I grew up in Westchester County, NY with my parents and three brothers. I made my way to the Midwest during undergrad where I attended Purdue University and obtained a degree in Animal Sciences. Following graduation, I made my way to Ohio for veterinary school at The Ohio State University. I recently graduated from there this past May with my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. I am now currently working at Fulton Animal Hospital in Canal Fulton, Ohio where I have been blessed to bring on the service of seeing pet pigs.

My love for pigs started around second grade where I decided that I wanted a pet pig ( I am not sure why). When my parents said no, I decided to protest to them by not eating pork. That trend continued into my adult years, but then on my first day of veterinary school my brother called me to tell me that he offered me to take his friend’s 3 month old pot belly pig. That is when I got my pig, Penelope. She is 4 now and sassier than ever. I also have a dog Sophie who is sweet as can be and responds to all of Penelope’s calls. I am so blessed to be apart of the veterinary medicine profession and hope that I can educate owners on having a pet pig as well as be able to offer excellent care to them.
