Dr Andrew Melling B.V.Sc MRCVS

Senior Veterinary Surgeon

Background: Andrew graduated from Liverpool Vet School in 1981 and worked in mixed practice and then small animal practice for 11 years. Following this he started his own practice ‘Andrew Melling Vets’ in 1992 and the rest as they say is history.
 
His favourite part about being a vet is the job itself – he said you can’t be a vet for this long unless you enjoy it! His preferred clinical area is anything equine based but specially lameness cases.
 
When not working Andrew enjoys fishing, craft beer, adventure holidays, wildlife, and a glass of red wine (the good stuff)

Victoria enjoys all aspects of being a vet in a mixed practice as no two days are ever the same – it genuinely doesn’t feel like work (except when the on call phone rings at 3am). She particularly enjoys spring time and all the craziness that comes with lambing season, calf health, and equine medicine cases.
