Shauna has been working in the veterinary field since she was a teenager. She met Dr. Lidikay (at a veterinary hospital, of course!) in his first year of vet school and they were married soon after. After his graduation from UC Davis, they purchased Fillmore Animal Hospital in 2005. It has truly become a family venture, and a journey the Lidikay family is grateful to be on. After Dr. Lidikay’s death in early 2017, she kept the hospital going and has two wonderful vets that work for her. Shauna enjoys furthering her knowledge of veterinary medicine and practice management with classes and continuing education and loves developing relationships with FAH’s wonderful clients and patients. She shares her home with her four children (Sebastian, Gabriel, Peyton, and Scarlet), four dogs, three cats, an African Sulcata Tortoise, and a couple of miniature horses.
