A visit from the Vet.

As part of our topic about caring for animals, we have been thinking about what rights pets have and how we should look after them. We were lucky enough to receive a visit from our local vet and veterinary nurse in Hythe.  They brought a very large dog called Simba and some tiny four week old kittens to see us too. We listened to Simba's heartbeat using a stethoscope, and also felt his heart beating with our hands.

 

We were very gentle with the kittens.

 





 

Simba enjoyed being groomed........46 times!

 

 

We found out why vets need to wear gowns and masks, and enjoyed trying them on ourselves.

 

 

We learned such a lot from our visit and are very grateful to the team from Hythe vets for giving up their time.

 

Could these children be future vets?
