Dr. Nora Grenager grew up on a small farm in central Pennsylvania and could always be found out in the barn with the horses. She knew she wanted to be an equine vet from a young age.

 

Nora earned her BA from Amherst College, her veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and then did her internship and internal medicine residency at Steinbeck Equine. Nora’s professional interests include internal medicine (especially endocrine disease, respiratory disease, ultrasound, and cardiology), laminitis, and preventive herd health. She has written and edited numerous peer-reviewed veterinary articles, contributed to—or edited—several veterinary textbooks, is finishing up writing a clinical anatomy textbook, and is an active volunteer in many veterinary organizations.

 

Nora loves spending time with her husband, David, daughter, Sally, and dog, Riley, and doing almost anything outside (running, hiking, snowboarding, kayaking) in beautiful California, as well as playing music.
