After spending most of my time out and about doing TV and media work the last few weeks it’s been great to be back in the surgery for a few days this week.
I’m working at the Pet Vaccination Clinic in Wythall, near Birmingham, which is a fantastic practice that offers really good service at low prices (www.petvaccinationclinic.co.uk). I really enjoy working there because it’s always busy with loads going on and there’s no time to get bored, and you usually see more cases in a day there than most vets would see in a week elsewhere – my record is about 85 consultations in a day which is quite something when you consider that most consultations take about 10 minutes!
This week’s actually been quite quiet – possibly because lots of people are stuck overseas due to the ash (I just hope someone is looking after their pets while they’re away!) – but it’s still been good fun and I’ve seen some interesting cases including a rabbit who’d had her front teeth removed because they were growing in the wrong direction, and a dog with a mysterious lump on his ear which will probably need surgery next week.
This evening it’s back on Gala Bingo TV to present my weekly pet advice spot between 8-9pm and we’re talking about obesity this evening so tune in and put a question to me live on air!
