Meg qualified from Royal Veterinary College, hankering to be a large animal vet, but foot and mouth, a sojourn in Africa, a husband and several children later she finds herself blissfully happy as a small animal vet in the Folly Gardens fold!
Her special interest is dermatology and she is often found sellotape and cotton buds in hand, examining the contents lately stripped off a dogs skin under the microscope. We are sure she was once a blue Peter presenter!
Meg has always wanted to be a vet, since the age of 10 when a vet student came lambing on her parents’ farm and told her tales of picking up radio 1 on a sheep. University sounded such fun so she thought she'd go to vet school, little did she know there were other easier subjects to do. But she has never regretted her decision. "Every day at work, I never know what might come through the door, sometimes it's exciting ER moments like putting a chest drain in cat with a pneumothorax post road traffic acccident: one moment it is gasping for life the next its breathing peacefully. Other times you can see a case, especially allergic skin cases, that you wonder will they ever get right but with the owners hard work as much as my own there is that eureka moment when everything finally falls into place and the patient is well."
Out of work, Meg when not looking after her family loves printing and creating and also is part of Holy Trinity Church in Tewkesbury.
