Caring for your pet

Vanessa Townsend-Paley

Veterinary Nurse

Well, I've been a vet nurse for 15 years now, and have survived working with Alex for 11 of those ....wow!

This photo really shows off Rommel, my 10 year old Rottie's, colour mutation. He has Vitiligo, which is a very very rare auto immune condition where his body attacks his dark pigment cells, turning him gradually white.

This condition (along with his handsome looks and sharp wits) has lead to international fame and deservedly for such a star, he has his own furniture at home (spoiled).

He reluctantly shares home with my two cats, Klaus -Mandalay and Calvin - Burmese (the bosses) and a multitude of tropical fish. A recent addition to the family is Bruiser - a Pekinese cross Shih Tzu who loves Rommel to bits but he doesn't feel quite the same way!
