Always worth traveling for a good vet, a vet who does not know what they are doing can cause more harm then good. I do a hour and a half to hannah in stoke

A good vet near you is Hannah Bould in stoke on Trent.. A google search will bring up her address.

I had a look on another site, for a list of vets, sadly I couldnt find anyone close to you, so maybe the suggestion for the one in leeds is the best

Good luck xx
