mattyg 1,862 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 No idea mate, I’m not usually there in the summer if you know what I mean. only down the road from me, I’ll try to find out what’s happening. Have you had any joy on the phone? he does a lot of work for the greyhound trust so they might know what’s going on, failing that Mrs jones’ at jct 9 where he used to work might know. cheers, matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyg 1,862 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 It’s the running dog kind of injuries that can be dismissed by other vets that he was very good at dealing with.....not the most high tech of places but he knew his stuff. he was also very good with terrier boys aswell.

zx12edge 1,001 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Without him a few of my dogs would have been retired long before they did. I had a lot of respect for him .My beardie cross hated him, it used to make us laugh when he had to look in his mouth. Him and his wife stood about 6 ft away with a flash light while i held is mouth open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
