Morning all

Did anyone watch the first episode of this new series last night?

I've just watched it this morning, how fantastic it was to see Oscar the cat walk on his artificial feet, bless him :-)))

It is where I took my dog Charlie for treatment late last year and it really is a fabulous place, with truly amazing vets and staff. What you see on the programme really is what they are like.

Hi Mary,yes I saw the programme last night and think the vets are marvellous.
Can't recall the name of the head vet but he was soo caring for the animals welfare,he is really skilled isn't he?

When Oscar jumped onto the heap of loo rolls he was thrilled as he was just expecting to see him walk on his artificial hind paws.
Great programme :O)

Hi Mau and SRS

Noel Fitzpatrick is the owner - Fitzpatrick Referrals is the name of the place.

Yes, he really is so skilled and they are all so dedicated to the animals they treat. I just loved the bit when he said "I can't have a black cat with brown feet" and proceeded to put black tape on the artificial feet LOL.

Awww, it was lovely to see Oscar just start walking and then jump up on to the loo rolls.......animals are quite amazing how they just accept things aren't they?

I can't wait until the next episode, it's a shame it's on so late.......but never mind I can record it and watch it the morning after. :-))

I thought it was an excellent programme. Was most impressed when he said he would do everything he could to save animals, but he also knew where to draw the line - a caring and compassionate man :-)
