Hi, I’m Polly, a fifth year vet student at Edinburgh currently at the beginning of my clinical years! I've had a dog since I was 4 and have done work experience at a dog day care and grooming business as well as 5 seasons of lambing and 2 weeks full time working at an eventing yard for my degree, alongside the classes taught in animal handling and behaviour. Our dog died at the age of 15 a couple of years ago but my parents have recently bought a lovely new puppy who is reminding me of the differences between young and older dogs! I also own 2 ducks at home and have been riding on and off since I was 4 with experience in horse care and ownership. I've taken basic care of friend's cats, guinea-pigs, chickens and tortoises, as well as helped look after frogs and snakes although I do not have as much personal knowledge with these species!
