Fern also reveals she’s been working with cats a lot more thanks to her new ITV show Fern Britton: Inside The Vet’s, recording the highs and lows of life in a busy vet practice. Behaviourist Nicky joins to discuss feline bladder infections and whether it is better to visit your poorly cat at the vet or if it causes them too much stress. Hosted on Acast.
