In this week's podcast, Pete the Vet starts by discussing a recent incident in the Irish newspapers where a man was seen to pounce on a swan, grabbing it by the neck. Pete then discusses the issue of ticks, what can be done to prevent them, and how they can be removed.

Pete the Vet Podcast: swans being abused, plus the problem of ticks

I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for communicating my love of my work through writing, radio,  television and the internet. My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.
I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work. 
I've been broadcasting a weekly "vet spot" on my local radio station, East Coast FM, for the past fifteen years, and I'm delighted, through Soundcloud, to now make this weekly animal-related discussion available globally as a podcast.
