Hello, my name is Sarah and I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1990 and gained my Diploma in advanced veterinary nursing in 2000. I have worked in a variety of small and mixed practices over the years and currently I am a head nurse in a small animal practice. I have a mad Flat Coated Retriever who, in his short life to date, has had a variety of “problems” and previous to that owned an even madder Flat Coat who had a variety of old age conditions ranging from mild arthritis to Hypothyroidism (under active thyroid gland) and liver disease. At work, with a couple of other qualified nurses, I run a senior pet clinic and owning an older dog with a variety of problems has helped me to help advise my clients on the best health care for their dog or cat.

The main purpose for this blog is for you to ask questions! Perhaps your pet has a condition that you don’t quite understand, or maybe you want some general advice on your pet’s condition and suggestions in order that you can help your pet a bit more. Or perhaps you have a new kitten or puppy and are not quite sure how often you should be worming him or her. Whatever the question all you have to do is ask and I will do my best to answer them. And, if I do not know the answer then I will go away, do some research, ask colleagues at work and then give you an answer.

You can send your questions to me: sarah@vetmedsplus.co.uk
