On East Coast FM this week, we started off with a listener's query about an itchy Westie, & we moved on to discuss the complexities of flea control: should you buy "flea drops" from your local supermarket or pet shop, or should you ask your local vet?

Vet on the radio: a Westie with itchy ears & why buy flea control from your local vet?

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.
