On East Coast FM this week, Pete the vet discusses the common summer problem of sore paws in dogs, including harvest mites. Could vegetation or harvest mites be the cause? We also discuss gastroenteritis, which is also a common problem that vets see during the summer.

Vet on the radio: from dogs with sore paws to "summer gastro-enteritis"

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.
