Channel 4 Documentary needs your help

[Gwyn]

Hello everyone,

I'm working for a television production company called Twenty Twenty Television in the UK and have recently started working on a documentary about pets with special needs for Channel 4's 'Cutting Edge' strand.

The documentary will look at both the disabled pets and the owners who care for them. It will explore the dilemmas faced by pet owners whose animals become disabled as well as looking at how pet and owner cope with the changing circumstances. We'd also like to cover related issues such as the science surrounding the disabilities, the latest medical and surgicaltechniques and support available.

We aim to provide a serious and well rounded look at pets with special needs and the surrounding issues and would like to cover a range of disabilities in different species.

I would be very interested in talking to anyone caring for a reptile (or indeed other pet) with special needs. I'd like to get the perspective and knowledge of someone actually caring for an animal, or who has cared for one in the past. Additionally I'd like to hear your opinions on disabled animals. I'm particularly keen to talk to people who's animals are currently undergoing a period of change, whether that be that the severity of your animals disability is changing, you're about to take on or give up a disabled animal or have to make a decision about the future of an animal with a recent disability.

Please do get in touch if you have a story, opinion or question, no matter how small.

I will keep checking this forum or ideally can be contacted by email: gwynwilliams@twentytwenty.tv or telephone: 020 7284 2020

I would be very grateful if you could pass on my information to anyone you know who may be interested.

Kind regards,

Gwyn

Hello,

just to add to this. I've had a couple of really interesting responses but am keen to hear from more people. Especially if you are caring for a severely disabled reptile.

Thanks for your help with this.

Kind regards,

Gwyn
