Abstract

On 3rd February 2022, the South African veterinary community lost one of its brightest young stars as Dr Pascale Cooper tragically passed away following a heart attack at age 33. Pascale graduated from Onderstepoort in 2013, the third generation of vets in the Cooper line. Great-grandfather Dr Vincent Cooper was one of the first classes to graduate from OP. Pascale’s father, Dr Dave Cooper (1979), is well known as a leading wildlife veterinarian.
