Dugy that vet at morpeth is a tort vet but he isn't just at morpeth he has a few other places in or near newcastle, cannae mind his name but.

Edit> it's robson and prescott I think but your nearest one is seaton delaval probably. there is ashington bedlington and blyth but they are further away from you i think? http://www.vetcentremorpeth.co.uk/in...=104&Itemid=70

i dont mind travelling... i had to travel to get to the other vets... thanks guys.. you lot really are great!!!

im gunna go on wednesday and get all three wormed (all three i hear you cry!!!

)

i'll then ask to be explained to where the infection is.. if needed ill agree to have on a course of antibiotics.

im gunna wait a year and take photos monthly to track and improvments.. (6 month wasnt really that long...)

ill then go to this other vet and get a second opinion =]

i think this is right =]

sounds like a plan Dugy, what ever you choose, hope it goes well!

tartaruga amore · 31-08-2009, 05:38 PM

good plan dugy, but i would not wait a year, say your tort really did need the op, a year is a long time, best get advice now

**Alan1** · 31-08-2009, 08:00 PM

You would need to phone robson and prescott to find out which one of the vets is the tort vet and make sure you get to see him. You don't want to be landed with a horsey guy like

tartaruga amore · 31-08-2009, 08:41 PM

mr prescot, but i do believe they now have a second vet, but he is the "tops"

dugy · 31-08-2009, 10:13 PM

right.. ill get the second opinion next week?

tartaruga amore · 31-08-2009, 11:12 PM

ah good lad dugy, you will feel much better yourself, please let us know what happens,
oh and ask what days mr prescot is where, he might do a day in a practise nearer to you

dugy · 02-09-2009, 06:26 PM

left with panacure for worms and all three torts... no op.
