Charity challenge for Hertfordshire vet
"I've decided to run the London Marathon for Vetlife to raise awareness for the charity both within and outside the profession" - Anna Threlfall

Anna Threlfall to run London marathon to raise money and awareness for Vetlife.

Veterinary specialist Anna Threlfall is running the London marathon to raise money and awareness for Vetlife. She has already exceeded her £1000 target, and despite injury niggles, hopes to complete the 26.2 mile course in under four hours.

Ms Threlfall is head of internal medicine at a Hertfordshire veterinary practice. She is running the marathon for Vetlife; an indepedent charity that provides free and confidential support to members of the UK veterinary community and their families who have emotional, health or financial concerns.

Ms Threlfall said: “Vetlife is literally a lifeline for many people in the veterinary profession but so many do not realise it even exists, let alone the work that it does.

“I’ve decided to run the London Marathon for Vetlife to raise awareness for the charity both within and outside the profession, as well as hopefully raise some money for them.”

The London marathon first took place in 1981 and has become the largest annual fundraising event in the world. Fifty thousand people, including Ms Threlfall, are expected to take part in this year's event, which is taking place on Sunday 23 April. Those wishing to support her, can do so via her JustGiving page.

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
