CV Ruth Fortrie

Ruth studeerde in Gent af in 1999. Zij heeft zich sindsdien toegelegd op de oncologie en intensieve zorgen.

Dankzij de vooruitgang in de kankerbehandeling heeft zij het leven van al heel wat huisdieren kunnen verlengen.

Soms slaagt ze erin om met chemotherapie het dier te genezen van kanker, terwijl het vroeger ten dode was

opgeschreven.

Ruth heeft zich eveneens verdiept in de echografie. Op die manier kan ze inwendige gezwellen in een vroeg

stadium diagnosticeren en verder opvolgen. Hieronder nog een zeer uitgebreid curriculum
