After a rhythm he describes as“using”the veterinarian will devote himself to pets, in his practice.

In Deux-Sèvres, in 2021, two other veterinary practices ceased their rural activities, which lengthens the response times. “It’s a big stress for us. The fact that the veterinarian does not arrive quickly enough, we can lose the animal”says Cecile Brassaccattle breeder. Among the solutions, a practice in Parthenay (Two Sevres)which brings together 16 veterinarians. They also try to convince students to settle in rural areas.
