***Respiratory allergies alert***
Snotty nose, coughing, taking deeper more frequent breaths?
With the oil seed rape coming out into flower and pollen counts rising, your horse may be suffering the equine equivalent of hay fever. Get your vet to examine your horse if you are worried.

Forget Stoven Hall Diaries, the cats have taken over!
Woohoo the laptop is out, time for some fun. See what you humans don’t realise is that cats are the most superior being on the planet, unlike dogs we can spelland our vocabulary is vast, and as for typing skill mum still hasn’t worked out which is the freeze/unfreeze the mouse button on the keyboard, a button I particularly feel the need to press when I require feeding and she is not giving me her full attention whilst ...working on the laptap.
Anyway I should introduce myself properly, I am Marley and joined the Stoven Hall Possie on New Years Eve and I have had my new parent in training ever since. Now I don’t know if it is just at my house that this happens but at Stoven Hall we have our proper names … although I have to say some of those are debateable … don’t tell George (Turkish Angora who sole job is to guard the practice cars, keep mums feet warm and trip her up should the feed bowl become empty), and then there are the so called pet names. As you can see from the intro my name is Marley, proper title Eastpoint Marley Jasper, Russian Blue with physique to die for … so what does she now call me??? Squidge!!!
A little tip for those of you with the same problem I am Marley when I am naughty, the more naughty you are the more they get your name right!!!

The Stoven Hall Diaries
Many of you may have seen the TV programme the Yorkshire Vet based in James Herriot’s former practice. I have finally had the opportunity to see a few episodes and to say it stopped me in my tracks is an understatement. The relationship they have with their clients and patients; all species treated under one roof, each individual vet able to treat all species, the pride they take in caring for animals like their own 24 hours a day seven days a week, it was like a mirror image … well almost… granted their vets are predominantly male!!!
Whilst we do not currently have our own television series ….. yet!!!! …,it started me thinking, with the kind permission of our clients that we should start the Stoven Hall Diaries. Not quite the Stoven Hall “It shouldn’t happen to a vet” but close , and also where we can keep you posted on interesting cases, practice news and events.
I have been working as a vet for almost 20 years now, and I could tell a tale or two!!! I feel very privileged to have the job that I do. Being a vet isn’t about having a job it’s a vocation, one which I absolutely love. My life is animals and animals are my life. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
