In Memoriam: Drury Reavill, DVM, Dipl. ABVP (Avian, Reptile and Amphibian), DACVP
Zoo and Exotic Pathology Service (ZEPS) was instrumental in helping ESCRA with early case collection and was an avid supporter of our project.   Drury was and remains an outstanding asset to exotic and non-traditional animal medicine. She was a pioneer in the pathology of every zoo and pet exotic species, including exotic mammals, birds, reptiles and even fish.  She will be missed.
