Hello all! I'm Emily and I work with Skylark Vets, supporting them with social media, events, website, newslettters and that kind of thing. I've 'met' a fair few of you in the chats and comments since I first joined the team last March, and thought it was high time I introduced myself.
I first met Charlotte when I needed some help with one of dogs, Derek, about 7 years ago. Derek is extremely reactive and was unwell, so I was looking for a mobile service to come and treat him at home. Despite being on the very outer reaches of the Skylark mobile range, they agreed to come 🙏. He still was a very difficult patient(!) but the team were so kind, considered and tenacious that I was instantly a fan. Derek is now very well, and 'enjoys' regular care from them still to treat hypothyroidism.
I was delighted to discover that Skylark had such expertise with birds as I keep chickens and rehome quite a few from the British Hen Welfare Trust and Fresh Start for Hens, as well as other waifs and strays. My chickens, over the years, seem to have run the full gamut of ailments and got themselves into a few scrapes, so I am very grateful to have discovered Charlotte and Skylark, who have such a deep understanding of and interest in chickens.
Pics of me with Ruby (who suffered a couple of strokes and went blind but who loved her intensive care treats and love for some months), Deadly Derek (looking as if butter wouldn't melt), Wilf, who doesn't get enough press because he's a good boy, my World Horse Welfare ponies Sky and Bella; and my lovely Mimi, who was my first hen to be treated by Charlotte.
It's nice to meet you 🙂
Emily
