In relation to the Consulting team of Veterinary Specialists I have worked closely

with and learnt a great deal from in the last 2 years, a number of these people are

Board Certified in the U.S. with their particular area of expertise:

Consulting Veterinarians I have worked closely with include:

Dr Martin Haulena, DVM, MSc, DACZM, Vancouver Aquarium, Canada, Senior

Veterinarian, ([email protected]), Board Certified Zoo Veterinarian,

and Dr Robert Braun, DVM, MS, of Montana in the US, ([email protected]), as the

Dr James Bailey, DVM, MS, DACVA, ([email protected]), U.S. Navy and

National Marine Mammal Foundation, for advice and support with marine

mammal anesthesia. A Board Certified Anesthesia Specialist in the U.S. I, Dr

Kelly O'Sullivan, perform sea lion anesthesia on my own, as a veterinarian, which

requires intensive monitoring equipment and skill, such as continuous analysis of

End Tidal CO2, (Carbon dioxide levels), ECG, Blood pressures, pulse oximetry

and oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, consideration for ventilating sea

lions/seals. I have been involved with 35 + sea lion/seal anesthetics now, in recent

years.

National Marine Mammal Foundation and Dr Sophie Dennison,

([email protected]), BVM&S, MRCVS, DACVR, RCVS, Recognized

Specialist in Diagnostic Imaging, Adjunct Professor, School of Veterinary

Medicine, University of Wisconsin – Madison, for thorough diagnostic

ultrasonography and radiology skills.

Dr Gisele Montano, DVM, MS, ([email protected]) and Dr Todd

Robeck, DVM, PhD, ([email protected]), both from the SeaWorld &

Busch Gardens Reproductive Research Center, for consultancy and artificial

insemination reproduction programs. At the facility Dolphin Adventure, Vallarta

Page 3: Kelly O'Sullivan's Resume

Adventures, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, we have been collecting dolphin semen and

going through the process of freezing the semen, one day every week, to store in

liquid nitrogen, for future Artificial Insemination programs. A technique I have

learnt in the last 20 months, as Senior Veterinarian, with my Lab Technician, Abel

de la Torre, on advice and guidance in full-time consultancy, from Drs Gisele

Montano and Dr Todd Robeck, mentioned here, above. We also imported semen

from the U.S. via PROFEPA permit, from Sea World of San Diego, SeaWorld &

Busch Gardens Reproductive Research Center. An Artificial Insemination

program has been running over many years, with 4 dolphins Artificially

Inseminated, via sterile Hysteroscopy, while I was present as Senior Veterinarian

at Dolphin Adventure, with the Consulting Veterinarians Drs Todd Robeck and Dr

Gisele Montano, on site at the facility.

Skip Young of Vancouver Aquarium, Water Quality Manager at Vancouver

Aquarium, Vancouver, Canada, for water quality consultancy.

Utilizing Excel Medical Files for timely record keeping daily, as well as OERCA,

which is a comprehensive, electronic record management system that makes

collecting animal and facility information simple and analyzing data easy. It is a

powerful web based animal records solution for Zoological facilities and field

research. This role had me responsible for sea lion anesthesia sole charge and the

ordering of new equipment, such as a Backpack Stinger portable anesthetic

machine, with the capacity to do very large species of animals, Sentinel V

3025i anesthetic monitoring equipment, including ETCO2, surgical equipment,

new Ultrasound Sonosite Edge machine. I feel well equipped with marine

mammal and other species, ultrasonography, sample collection, diagnostic

interpretation, careful treatment schedules, on-going monitoring, endoscopy - even

voluntarily trained, also hysteroscopy (involuntary) and de-frosting frozen semen

for Artifical Insemination. I believe I have the knowledge and skill base to move

forward in these dimensions. Trained Voluntary Cryosurgery has been well

practiced at the recent facility, with some oral viral lesions in a few of the older

dolphins in the population, all to successful and good effect. I have performed

numerous thorough autopsies, sample collection and worked on further diagnostics

Page 4: Kelly O'Sullivan's Resume

and case information, with skilled pathologists in additional testing, such as Dr

David Espinosa and Dr Judy St Leger, Sea Worlds in the US Pathologist. Six

dolphin calves and one South American Sea Lion pup, were born at the facility

over the 20 months. This position also included working with veterinary

colleagues at Cabo Dolphins, Cabo Adventures, Mexico, with their different

environmental challenges to learn from, with that population of dolphins.
