Children got the opportunity to be vets for a day at an open day.
Visitors were given access to all areas of the Millennium Veterinary Practice, in Millennium Way, Braintree, last Sunday including the laboratory, wards, theatres and the diagnostic imaging rooms.
There were also opportunities for visitor participation including bandaging practice, examining samples through the microscope and getting dressed up in theatre clothing ready to operate.
