Seasonal Canine Illness to feature on Countryfile
AHT's investigation into the illness to air on BBC1 programme

The Animal Health Trust's investigation into seasonal canine illness (SCI) will be featured on BBC1's Countryfile, to be broadcast on Sunday 21st October.

As part of his 'Investigations…' series, Tom Heap will speak to Dr Richard Newton who is spearheading the AHT's investigation into SCI, as well as reporting from woodlands where suspected cases of SCI have recently been reported.

The AHT is spreading the word about the episode in order to urge dog owners who are uncertain about SCI - what it is, what are its clinical signs and how to help in the AHT's investigation - to watch the episode.

It can be watched live on BBC1 on 21st October, and will be available on BBC iPlayer for the following week.

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
