TWIN sisters have opened a vet surgery which treats pets with herbal remedies including mistletoe and medicinal mushrooms.
University of Glasgow veterinary medicine graduates Reagan and Jordan Carnwath, 29, say their practice, – on the city’s south side – is the first of its kind in Scotland.
Patients include cats, dogs and horses. Reagan stays at the Glasgow branch, while Jordan travels further afield in Scotland to visit patients on their farms.
Reagan said: “We’re the only dedicated herbal practice of its kind in Scotland. If animals need conventional treatments, we’ll send them back to their regular vets, but we choose to model on holistic medicine and it seems to work well.
It’s really big in North America with vets that work in this way.
A lot of people worry and wonder how effective it is, but we’re not replacing conventional veterinary care.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
