Independent practice shines spotlight on senior pets
"Events like this allow us to share our knowledge, build relationships, and help ensure our patients enjoy a happy, comfortable later life" - Nicola Yarnton, Practice Manager.

The popular event provided advice on supporting animals throughout their golden years. 

An independent veterinary practice in Suffolk hosted a successful open evening on Wednesday (15 April) focused on the care of senior pets.

Moreton Hall Veterinary Centre’s ‘Super Seniors’ event provided pet owners in Bury St. Edmunds with expert guidance on supporting the health of animals throughout their golden years.

The practice team provided advice on changes owners can expect to see as their pet's age, while experienced vets helped demystify the most common health conditions affecting senior animals.

The centre also showcased its range of services for pets of all ages, including hydrotherapy and physiotherapy, dog grooming and ophthalmology.

Practice manager Nicola Yarnton said: “As an independent practice, we pride ourselves on taking the time to support our community and provide tailored advice for every pet and owner. 

“Events like this allow us to share our knowledge, build relationships, and help ensure our patients enjoy a happy, comfortable later life. Thank you to everyone who came along.”

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.'
