Having had piggys for the past 3 1/2 years we have built up a good relationship along the way with our local vets which are part of a larger group including a hospital for small animals. Recently we found ourselves in the sad position of having to have our beloved wee piggy Gromit PTS and we have only praise for the vet group and all of the staff we came into contact with. They were both caring and understanding of our position even with a wee piggy and they all knew his name and updated us when we rang to check on his progress. Obviously after a week of dedicated treatment and care for our Gromit the best and the most difficult decision was to let Gromit go. Morven our vet who has always had a great interest in piggies was just as upset as we were to lose our boy. We received a beautiful card from the surgery signed by all of the staff which will remain a treasured memory of Gromit. Our vet asked us to bring in Wallace to the surgery to ensure that he did not have any infection that may have been passed on from Gromit. When we arrived at the surgery the receptionist again passed on her condolences on the loss of Gromit which we thought was a touching gesture.
We will soon be introducing Tim to Morven and I'm sure she will be delighted to meet him and see how he is getting along with Wallace. We are sure that we will have many years of nail clipping and weighing, and ahhhhhh teeth checking ahead of us. Its really great for us to know that although ours vets are part of a large practice Morven always provides the personal touch and we will always be grateful to her.
