Animal Madhouse!

Over the summer I have been filming a brand new television programme for Channel 4, called Animal Madhouse. In it myself, 3 other vets and 2 vet nurses, see a variety of pets with unusual (and, sometimes unpleasant!), problems and do our best to help them. We also go out and about to farms, zoos and horse yards to meet less domesticated creatures! A huge passion of mine, and the shows, is responsible pet ownership, and to this end we are running two campaigns; a ‘Fat Camp’ highlighting the health issues associated with pet obesity and a neutering campaign which focuses on the huge problem in the UK of unwanted pets and the health benefits of having the pets neutered.

This week I go to the Redwings Horse Sanctuary and meet Ned, who was one of the horribly abused horses rescued from Amersham, but he needs surgery because something is missing! The operation is fantastically interesting, watch out for his guts trying to escape! The show also features Donald the sex pest, and somewhat confused, duck who keeps trying to mate with the chickens he lives with (!), a couple of alpacas who are having problems in the reproduction department, a balding chinchilla and a dog with a disgusting head!

I hope you tune in!
