Our story from tonight's episode of The Project 💛

[The Project @theprojecttv]

Anyone with a pet knows the vital role veterinarians play in our lives. Looking after honorary members of our family. But who’s looking after them? Figures reveal, veterinarians are four-times more likely than members of the general population to die by suicide.

Another fantastic guest 😊

New @FlynnsWalk Talk episode! Dr Nigel Clayton practiced vet medicine for 50 years, where he played a pivotal role in establishing the first Animal Emergency Centre, which in turn reformed the way after-hours care was provided. Listen to the episode: https://t.co/IXbHF9K1cu

Thanks to @7NewsMelbourne for helping to spread the word about the enormous challenges facing the veterinary field and for including us in their story.

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

The surge in pet ownership during the pandemic has sparked a vet crisis. Clinics are struggling to treat a record number of animals while facing staff shortages, as over-worked vets abandon the profession. https://t.co/5zYfOfGqUb @rochelleebrown1 #7NEWS

[Flynn's Walk @FlynnsWalk]

@7NewsMelbourne @rochelleebrown1 Thank you for helping bring attention to this devastating issue where in the worst situations, vets are taking their own lives as a result of high stress and burnout. Pet owners: remember to be kind, patient and understanding. Vets care about your pet as much as you do.💛
