The Journal recently asked me to write an essay about veterinary problems we see in hot weather; you can see it here: http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/whereyoulivenew/northdevon/Hot-dogs-emergencies/article-3592933-detail/article.html

Of course, as soon as I wrote about hot weather, it went cold, wet and windy. Hopefully the sun will soon be back, although some rain at night would be good for gardens and agricultural crops!

Fleas are rearing their ugly heads in earnest now, so get the Advocate or Frontline Combo on your cats and dogs or you will have a houseful of unwanted guests before you know it. Do be aware of adders on the Burrows, and do be careful not to let your pets get overheated. And enjoy the coming summer!
