Gooday, Dominic Barfield here, and this is the RVC Clinical Podcast.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for subscribing on your smartphone or generic fruit-based device.

I'm really grateful for you taking the time to download and listen to this

obviously podcast.

We don't ask for much return, but we're incredibly grateful if you could pop to Apple Podcast

or A-Cast or wherever you're listening to your podcast and leave us for review. Obviously a five-star review would be great, but we could appreciate a bit of your time if you could do that. So joining Brian and myself virtually, or in our
