CANINE COUGH

NEWSFLASH!

There has been a major outbreak of infectious bronchitis (canine cough / dog flu) in Limavady. This is now officially the most common infectious dog disease in Ireland. Please make sure your pet's vaccines are up to date (this is protected by an intranasal droplet vaccine into your pet's nose). If you are uncertain whether or not your pet has been protected,  please contact the clinic.

Ciaran Montague MVB

MRCVS Cert. Vet. Dermatology
Clinic Director

Ciaran is originally from Omagh, Co. Tyrone and a pupil of Omagh CBS. He married Gillian Morrow from Ballykelly and is now settled in Limavady with their two children, Niamh and Ashton. Ciaran is a 1994 honours graduate from University College, Dublin. After spending three years in mixed practice in Northern Ireland, Ciaran moved to England where he spent some six years enhancing his pet skills in Worcestershire, Essex and Yorkshire. He managed a branch surgery in Ilford for Goddard Veterinary Group before moving home to set up practice in Limavady with his wife Gillian. Ciaran is one of only two vets in Northern Ireland who has the RCVS Certificate in Veterinary Dermatology which means that expert assistance is at hand for all your pet's skin problems.

Spare time is scarce but Ciaran manages to devote some time to his best pal, Brook, his Dogue de Bordeaux. He manages a small farm holding in the area, enjoys cinema, NASA, Terry Brooks and Ebay!

Making it all worthwhile are Niamh Montague (age 7) and Ashton Montague (age 4).  They are pictured here with their 3 year old Shetland pony, Sparkle. Niamh and Ashton may be regularly seen at the clinic sometimes lending a helping hand and checking that Daddy is looking after all the patients properly!  Might they be budding young Veterinarians perhaps?
