Excellent! He won't regret it.

Quiet day today. Cat castrate and a mammectomy (=breast lump removal) on a dog. Consults are full of vaccines and weight checks (:Z ).
I have a thyroidectomy on a cat on Thursday - his thyroid is overactive meaning his metabolic rate has gone too high. Removing the gland (which lies in the neck between the trachea (windpipe) and jugular vein) will solve the problem. Nice little surgery.
The Lakes are fabulous. We've been really lucky with the weather so far; when it's been wet it's usually been night-time. Some great days on the hills in-between days at work!
What do you do in the Wirral? One of my mates works at the University Vet Hospital at Leahurst which is in that area.
