Opportunity for Vets and VNs
The Protecting Animal Welfare (PAW) cat sanctuary in Belize are offering vet nurses and vets the opportunity to develop their skills and contribute to a charity while living abroad.

The cat sanctuary is looking for a resident volunteer to stay for several months and help the charity move ahead to the next stage.

PAW was founded in 2003 by Madi Collins and is now home to 73 cats, four dogs and one duck, plus a colony of 16 ferals. Madi started the centre after giving up her corporate lifestyle in the US and returning to her home country with her three cats. Madi is now searching for a resident vet or vet nurse who can help her care and treat the animals. In return, she is offering her beachfront chalet, which is normally hired out to tourists.
 
For further information please contact Madi Collins at pawanimalsanctuarybelize@yahoo.com

 Veterinary practices are being urged to help owners safely dispose of any unused and expired pet medicines - not just antibiotics - during November's Animal Medicines Amnesty.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk
