I WOULD like to thank the staff at Buckler’s Hard and Seadown Veterinary Hospital in Hythe.

On a day trip to the Forest on Friday, our dog, Benny, was bitten by an adder.

We didn’t realise he had been bitten until we noticed him limping as we entered Buckler’s Hard.

Seeing how badly his leg was swelling we asked the staff at the Hard where the nearest vets was. They gave us directions and rang the Seadown to let them know we were on our way.

After an overnight stay at Seadown, Benny was able to return home fit again.

Many thanks to all those who helped us.
