It has been a bit of a hectic few weeks, my father in law has been diagnosed with the virus (he already has cancer) so you can imagine how stressful it has been. Luckily he seems to be on the mend and has been sent home from hospital to self isolate. We are hopeful he will make a full recovery.

Ruff has a dental
I do feel very bad as a vet having a 5 year old dog with such bad dental tartar! Like 90% of the UK dog population, he has eaten….
