Caring for your pet

Dr Alex Melrose

B.V.Sc., M.R.C.V.S.

Practice Principal

Alex checking Vegas (our clinic's 3 year old chocolate Burmese) over for injuries from lying around too much (Even the average cat sleeps 16 hours a day! The sleepiest of all mammals).

 

Vegas's more rounded and definitely more silent shadow Jim, would be close by, probably eating some stolen nurses sandwiches. Keep an eye out for these two cats in the waiting room looking for attention.

  

Alex also has a fantastic Black Brussels Griffon, Prince. He's friendly to one & all, knows lots of tricks, is sneaky, very fast & can swim. Check him out on his facebook page.

What is the coolest thing that has ever happened to you?

I was featured in one of Rachel Hale's photography books eating sausages and I have been on a few ads on TV.

Having my nails cut and being on a diet!

When Angus was only 10 weeks old he got too close to a cat who unfortunately scratched his left eye and it went right through the clear protective surface known as the cornea.    Read more
