It Shouldn't Happen To A Vet…

But it does according to veterinary information site Vetstream and it's usually out of hours! Vetstream is running a competition to find the most unusual, or amusing, out-of-hours veterinary consultation - enter and you could win a digital camera. "James Herriot seemed to have more than his fair share of eccentric clients and extraordinary consultations - or did he?" says Mark Johnston, Sales and Marketing Director at Vetstream. "We are looking for the most remarkable real life out-of-hours clinical case. It can involve any species of animal but it must have taken place outside of normal working hours i.e. at night, on a Bank Holiday, or perhaps over Christmas or New Year." The competition is open to vets and veterinary nurses. For an entry form telephone 01223 500123, or visit their site. The closing date for completed entries is 4 January, 2001 - winners will be notified on 5 January, 2001.
