Have a look at the site for further details and view some of my fledgling photography as well.jo travershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698813644296282749noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419899816143904410.post-17038154652685769482010-01-31T15:23:00.001-08:002010-01-31T15:23:30.777-08:00<div style="float: left; text-align: center; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jatravers/3607892631/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3634/3607892631_d1c547c1ac_t.jpg" alt="-33" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jatravers/3607892631/">-33</a>,<br /> originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/jatravers/">JATravers</a>.</span></div>this is the newest addition to the travers clan! <br />Maggie the spaniel!<br clear="all" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2419899816143904410-1703815465268576948?l=adoptavet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jo travershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698813644296282749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419899816143904410.post-92088063603211966022010-01-31T15:16:00.001-08:002010-01-31T15:16:25.329-08:00<div style="float: left; text-align: center; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jatravers/3608708444/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2458/3608708444_983d658e9e_t.jpg" alt="P3283721" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jatravers/3608708444/">P3283721</a>,<br /> originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/jatravers/">JATravers</a>.</span></div>I love this photo! <br />it looks like they'e all gossiping while waitng for a bus or something like that !<br clear="all" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2419899816143904410-9208806360321196602?l=adoptavet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jo travershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698813644296282749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419899816143904410.post-26814003213129911802010-01-31T15:14:00.001-08:002010-01-31T15:14:43.309-08:00This is a test post from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/r/testpost"><img alt="flickr" src="http://www.flickr.com/images/flickr_logo_blog.gif" width="41" height="18" border="0" align="absmiddle" /></a>, a fancy photo sharing thing.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2419899816143904410-2681400321312991180?l=adoptavet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jo travershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698813644296282749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419899816143904410.post-62989171530299456252009-02-09T07:37:00.000-08:002009-02-09T07:41:22.196-08:00Hi all the winter term is all done ... despite the fact that it's been snowing here in Liverpool ... it's the spring term now. <br />Four very tricky exams all done... get the results soon!! hopefully I'll have done ok.. <br /><br />This term we're learning about Brains.. and also diverse species ... so we'll be covering all the other things that vets have to deal with .. like rabbits, frogs, fish, birds things like that..... <br /><br />Photosoc has taken off ... we've got enough members now to run a proper society ... ! so it's all good... <br /><br />:-)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2419899816143904410-6298917153029945625?l=adoptavet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jo travershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698813644296282749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419899816143904410.post-61394368418135600922008-10-27T14:37:00.000-07:002008-10-27T14:40:18.479-07:00<title>HTML clipboard</title><meta name="keywords" content="thankyou, photography, animal, animal shelter, charity, veterinary profession"><meta name="description" content="The story so far.

He was in a very bad way, with bleeding from his mouth and started going into shock. However we rushed him to see Shona the vet... ( am not yet qualified enough to deal with such emergencies) and she stablised him by putting him on a drip. AMAZINGLY enough after through x rays it was found that he hadn't broken a single bone!!!!<br />But had injured his brachial plexus, the bundle of nerves in the 'armpit' that runs down the leg. Rather like a junction box. <br />The poor boy has been having to rest in a puppy crate ever since but is walking very well now and is making a good recovery!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2419899816143904410-1739024461071240809?l=adoptavet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jo travershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698813644296282749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419899816143904410.post-25594120827805109782008-09-12T04:17:00.000-07:002008-09-12T04:18:25.558-07:00Do you have a pet problem?<br />Maybe I can help??<br />Just add your question to this post and I'll see what I can do....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2419899816143904410-2559412082780510978?l=adoptavet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jo travershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698813644296282749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419899816143904410.post-84798846362540509762008-09-12T03:42:00.001-07:002008-09-12T03:45:15.645-07:00Well that is a hard one.... I always knew that Liverpool was a good vet school and one of the oldest so very well established ... but doing this as a second degree Liverpool is one of the expensive places so knew that if I got into one of the others it would make financial sense to go to a cheaper vet school however Liverpool was the only one that offered me a place so I had no choice, however it is bloomin good. !!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2419899816143904410-8479884636254050976?l=adoptavet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jo travershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00698813644296282749noreply@blogger.com0
