AVON, CT — The latest episode of the Avon Talks podcast features longtime Farmington Valley veterinarian Dr. Harry Werner reflecting on more than five decades of caring for farm animals and witnessing the evolution of veterinary medicine.
Werner discusses his career serving farms throughout Connecticut's Farmington Valley, where he treated cows, goats, horses, and other animals while adapting to major changes in agriculture and animal care.
The episode, titled "Dr. Harry Werner's Farmington Valley Veterinary Diary: Of Cows, Goats, Horses and Elephants...", explores how veterinary medicine evolved during Werner's career from an era that relied heavily on clinical experience to today's more specialized, technology-driven approach.
Werner also recounts humorous and memorable experiences from decades spent visiting farms across the region and reflects on building a veterinary practice with his wife and business partner, Susan Werner. The conversation highlights the demands of operating a veterinary practice that provided around-the-clock care while serving generations of Farmington Valley farmers and animal owners.
