There is also a button somewhere around here from which you can send us an email.

You can ask questions or suggest a new subject for discussion. I will consider adding it at my first chance. It is not for appointments.That needs the phone..

           Apart from serving the commercial interests of Forth Veterinary Clinic we also hope that our website can play a small role in animal (and other) education.

                      You might even want to write your contribution or have something for sale but if you do then send it as an attachment and not in the original text. If it is of interest to others I’ll put it up. I have always found that clients appreciate information as well as how to do things themselves. This has never reduced my work but has increased it. Some people want to do a lot of their own animal health work and some none at all. It might be to save money or just feel self sufficient.          

           If you learn well enough then you may not need me to do your routine things. I dont fear that you will get things wrong. I know that education does not have that effect. If you have been taught well you will recognize sooner when you are heading into trouble. Most of my clients are intelligent and capable. I am seldom disappointed in that belief. Most of us rise or fall to the level that is expected of us.        

           Of course there is a legal list of ``vet only`` procedures. That means there are some things you cannot do at all unless you are a registered vet and others you cannot do for reward from others but you can do them on your own animals provided you conform with animal welfare and other regulations. If I have taught you to do these things on your own animals and you try it elsewhere on someone else`s animals then you may be in danger of litigation from them, me or the DPP.
