A vet is setting up a web cam in his new clinic so owners can watch the recovery of their pets.

Marc Abraham is perhaps best known as a DJ and many probably have no idea he spends the rest of his time saving animals' lives.

He has just set up Priory Road Emergency Treatment Service, a life-saving trauma surgery for pets involved in incidents such as road accidents, from a veterinary clinic in London Road, Brighton.

His next venture is allowing people to watch their pets all day and night from home or work if their pets need to stay in for treatment.

Marc, who can be found once a month at the Ocean Rooms nightclub in Brighton, said: "It would be useful for people to be able to just log on and see their pets."

He said the web cam would be good for people whose pets had been hospitalised for a long time.

"We would be able to let people know when we are looking at their pets.

"The service would be useful to people not able to get into the clinic to visit their pets every day."

Marc, whose elderly cat Harry has a heart condition, said he had read an article where another vet surgery had introduced a web cam into its surgery and it gave him inspiration.

The 30-year-old, from Kemp Town, is planning trips into Brighton and Hove schools to chat to children about being a vet and his jungle treks in the Amazon.

He travelled to South America where his veterinary skills were used to save a human life.

Marc was in Brazil and was in a bar on the border with Argentina when the sound of gunshot was heard.

A man had been shot through the tibia of a leg and the bullet hit a main artery. Marc sprang into action as bullets flew.

His service runs every night and weekends.
