Jonathan Down

Vet and proud father of two wonderful girls.

Main areas of interest in small animal work are Oncology,

Cardiology,Ultrasonography, Orthopaedics and Exotics.

Outside of work I enjoy anything to do with flying, and will

do anything to be up in the air flying paragliders, microlights

or light aircraft. Also skiing, diving, cycling and cooking.
