We’re lucky enough to have Jessica cover Corner House out of hours every second week to give the other vets some rest bite. You might occasionally see her at day calls every so often when Jessica steps in to help us cover holidays. When out and about she is usually accompanied by her Labrador cross the lovely “Meaigí” so don’t forget to say hello to Meaigi when you see her at calls!
