Doctors are urging Lanarkshire residents not to turn up to A&E with animal bites as waiting times soar.
Every month hundreds of people turn up in A&E with animal bites, but doctors are asking people to ‘keep A&E free’ for emergencies only after average waiting times soared again this month.
While 99.9 per cent of the bites are from dogs and cats, people have also turned up with insect, tick, mouse and donkey bites.
