Vets and VNs invited to equine anthelmintics webinar
"It’s a must for all those involved with prescribing” - Penny McCann, Zoetis.
Session will explore recommended approaches to help slow resistance.

Zoetis is launching a free CPD webinar exploring the latest advice on the best practice use of anthelmintics and the responsible use of moxidectin in horses.

Open to RAMAs, vets and vet nurses, the session will cover the current situation and recommended approaches to help slow resistance. It will culminate with a live Q&A hosted by Zoetis vet Dr Wendy Talbot giving attendees a chance to discuss any queries or questions they hear from clients. 

“Our webinars continue to be very well received,” said Zoetis equine product manager, Penny McCann. “This one is particularly important as it explains the important new thinking around the use of anthelmintics in order to address the serious challenge of resistance. It’s a must for all those involved with prescribing.”

The webinar will be held on Wednesday, 26th October 11 am and will be repeated at 7.30 pm for those unable to listen during the day. 

Each session will last for around one hour, equating to eight AMTRA CPD points.
