Vita Animal Health announces feline webinar series
Dr Louisa Graham.

Sessions cover feline cardiac disease and management of geriatric cats.

A new mini-series of feline webinars for vets and owners has been announced by Vita Animal Health.

Presented by advanced practitioner Dr Louisa Graham, the free webinars offer two hours of CPD and can be accessed via vitaanimalhealth.com

In the first webinar, Dr Graham addresses feline cardiac disease and calls on vets to perform cardiac ultrasound for routine screening and emergencies.
More than 15 per cent of cats are believed to suffer from heart disease and, with up to a third being asymptomatic, the webinar highlights the advantages of ultrasound in diagnosis and managing patients.

Tara Evans RVN from Vita Animal Health said: “We really value education, it’s at the centre of all that we do. Alongside producing functional products, we constantly strive to educate owners as well as supporting vets. These webinars are a fun and engaging way of offering CPD to vets and valuable information to owners on common conditions we see in cats.”

With a passion for internal medicine and supporting other vets, Dr Graham is renowned for her helpful tips and advice, which she shares across her online platforms. Following cardiac disease, her second webinar will shed light on how best to manage senior cats, stressing the importance of early detection of disease.

Two owner-facing webinars will give cat owners helpful information on problems that are prevalent for often go unnoticed by owners. Louisa will share practical suggestions on how to reduce feline stress as well as guidance on how to recognise symptoms of OA in cats and when to seek veterinary care.

Vets are being urged to share the owner-facing webinars with their clients as a teaching tool and information source.The series of webinars are available to watch online at vitaanimalhealth.com

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
