Local practice has had to halt certain services
A Manx veterinary practice says its vets are 'exhausted', as services on Island and further afield face increasing staff shortages.
Arg Beiyn, based in Onchan and Ramsey, says demand has continued to increase during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It's had to stop taking on new clients and is currently unable to carry out animal health certificates for travel due to the situation.
It's advising would-be pet owners to make sure they register with a vet before taking in a new companion.
Arg Beiyn's practice directors, Laura Bruder and Louise Bawden, were asked what support is available:
Jenkins and Thomas gearing up for chief minister vote
MHK claims chief minister candidates are aligned in views
Jurby Commissioners urging DoI to move 30mph zone to protect play area
