Tributes have been paid to vet Stephen Flood, who has died suddenly aged 57.
Stephen, a long-standing partner at Mercer and Hughes Veterinary Surgeons, had a very loyal following, particularly at the Stansted and Great Dunmow branches.
His ‘Fan Club’ appreciated his straight-talking manner and obvious care for the animals he looked after. Pets in his care were always called ‘Pickle’ no matter what breed, shape or size!
Born in 1963, Stephen graduated from University College Dublin in 1985. He spent two years working in Ireland following his graduation, then spent a short time working for Kew Vets in Harlow. He joined Mercer and Hughes Veterinary Surgeons in 1991.
