Scott Austin, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVIM
Background: I was born in Montpelier, Idaho and raised on a small
cattle ranch. My introduction to horses came early as we always had 5-10 stock
horses on the ranch. Our horses were primarily used for work, but they also
served as transportation until I was old enough to drive. I received my
veterinary degree from Washington State University and later completed my
internal medicine residency and masters degree at the University of Illinois
in 1992. In 1998 I joined WEC after serving on the faculty at the Virginia-
Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine for six years. My wife, family
and I now reside in Oconomowoc.
Hobbies: I have always had a strong passion for
photography and my love
of Thoroughbred racehorses has sparked my interest in Thoroughbred pedigree
analysis.
Medical Interests: My primary interest is
in the field of equine
internal medicine with a special emphasis on respiratory disorders, dermatology,
and the care and treatment of foundered horses.
