I am a Veterinarian and Zootechnician (CMVP 12434), founder and chief medical officer of Zoovet Travel, with thirteen years of clinical practice. I work on one principle: the visible sign does not cause the disease, it announces it. I diagnose in systems, not in symptoms —dermatology, endocrinology, internal medicine and nutrition read as a single process—, I treat what is visible as the last link and not as the diagnosis, and I support every conclusion with verifiable evidence and open-access publications with DOIs. That same logic governs my work in travel medicine: from Zoovet Travel I lead the international export of pets, where an animal only travels safely if the clinical and documentary chain holds from start to finish.

Open-source veterinary science
I believe verified clinical knowledge should not sit behind a paywall.
This is not philanthropy. It is the natural position of someone with thirteen years of real casework who has no reason to hide their sources or methodology.
International companion animal transport medicine had no systematic, freely accessible, and verifiable technical bibliography. The information existed scattered across official regulations, government circulars, and unpublished clinical criteria. I decided to document it.
The Zoovet Travel Technical Series in International Companion Animal Transport Medicine — ten volumes on FAVN/RNATT serology, health certificates, quarantine, and international regulations (CDC, SAG Chile, APHA post-Brexit, MPI New Zealand, EU Regulation 576) — is published open source, in Spanish, English and French, without restrictions:
