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.
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.
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
@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.💛
