Lorraine continued: “You were there when you were struck by the van. That must have been horrific.
“And then you had to operate on her. That must have been really hard actually?”
Noel responded: “Well that’s the thing Lorraine. You don’t really compartmentalise.
“To be the parent of the animal in my consulting room…I certainly felt what it was like to have the shoe on the other foot.
Keira has recovered very well
“And to be desperately worried about the animal that you love. And that’s an integral member of your family.
Before adding: “For me it was intensely traumatic.”
While he went on to say that he could hear her ‘body explode’ after she was struck by the van.
But the accident happened outside of his Surrey practice, and he was forced to pull her from under the wheel himself.
