i can fully understand your sentiments xx
mark was allowed / and was placed on our recomended vets page
after we recieved quite a few insights into his excellent work

sw are 100% behind marks work as a vetinarian

and we also know if this poor tort was in pain
or had little chance of survival
mark would have acted accordingly

mark / rodney vet is highly recomended
and has a very genuine interest with his patients 1st
and clientelle/ keepers probally 2nd

Ahhh intersesting. I must have been blind as i thought it was just another random joe having an acident and trying to repair the poor tort without any expertise hence what i said but to add i still didnt mean to sound rude or nasty as that isnt me.

the first pictures made me feel sick. But when i saw the pics of the repaired tort, i smiled. What a fantastic job!!!!
How can some people be so careless. Personally i wouldnt mow my lawn if i knew my torts were out there hibernating. At least they did the right thing by taking him to this wonderful vet!

OMG!!! i am in shock i have never seen an injury like this before but so glad she found her way to you, i for one will certainly be checking and doublechecking my lawn before mowing from now on, a hard lesson to learn for the poor owner too, i bet they must be heartbroken also, a warning to us all

I think you're doing an excellent job (Rodneyvet)

As nicnic said, it's great that you're giving her that poor Tort a chance.

Oh Rodneyvet, you are an angel looking after this poor poor tort. I'm wishing good luck to you and him for a good recovery. People need to see pics like this to shock them into being aware
Please come and live in Southampton
