Interesting programme on Channel 4 UK TV tonight about the work of Fitzpatrick Referral specialist veterinary clinic in Surrey. Rescued greyhound taken in filled with shot including one which shattered a hind leg. Pellets removed and the leg fixed together in a brace. No charge as it was from a rescue centre. Mark the date and time on your calendar – C4, 8pm. Supervet.
