Vets urged to help with Cushing's disease study

The Animal Health Trust hopes research will help with diagnosis of Cushing's disease.
AHT hopes to aid diagnosis by looking at breed differences

Veterinary surgeons are being asked to assist with a study of breed differences in the clinical features of canine hyperadrenocorticism, or Cushing's disease.

It is hoped that findings from the Animal Health Trust (AHT) study will help veterinary surgeons to diagnose the condition.

The research will rely on data from vets across the UK and the trust is calling on members of the profession to promote the study to colleagues and help increase knowledge of the disease.

An online questionnaire hopes to gain information on each case diagnosed. The AHT is urging veterinary surgeons to complete the 10-minute questionnaire for each patient diagnosed with spontaneous hyperdrenocorticism.

All information is submitted anonymously and each time a questionnaire is submitted, there is a chance to win a £100 Amazon voucher.

Participants can opt to be notified when study results become available.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
