Bay Vets paid tribute to Carl on their Facebook page over the weekend.

"We have some sad news to share with you. Carl Padgett sadly passed away yesterday.

"He was a partner at Bay Vets for many years. A lot of our team were lucky enough to have worked with him, and we thank him for guiding and supporting us and the practice for many years. We shall miss him dreadfully.

"Our thoughts are with his family, especially Julie, Rose, Kevin and Sandra."

The British Veterinary Association also posted a tribute to Carl.

"We’re extremely saddened by the news that BVA Past President Carl Padgett has passed away.  

"Padge, as he was affectionately known, was an inspiration in the post of BVA President from 2011/12, having previously served as Chair of the Animal Welfare Foundation and President of BCVA.

"He had a zest for life and always made time for others. Combined with his knowledge, talent and leadership, he was widely respected and loved within the profession.
