After-hours urgency

Vet Andrew Maloney and nurse Colleen Gibbons operate on a Doberman dog for a twisted stomach, in a Wellington after-hours clinic in 1999. Maloney commented that some pet owners suddenly decide late at night to find out why their dog has been limping or the budgie not eating for the last week. Other cases of course are more urgent.
