Thank you for your feedback
Excellent response for MRCVSonline topic suggestions

MRCVSonline would like to thank all of our members for the feedback they have been sending us over the past couple of weeks.

Andrew Millar, from Ardene House Veterinary Practice in Aberdeen, has been selected as the winner of the £50 John Lewis Vouchers.

At the beginning of August, we asked you to start sending over the topics that most interest you – the ones that you would like to see more of on MRCVSonline.

We've had an absolutely fantastic response, and your suggestions were more informative and widely-scoped than we could ever
have hoped.

All of your suggested topics have been taken on board, so be sure to look out for more information from MRCVSonline in future about the topic you personally suggested.

And don't forget to keep the suggestions coming! We want our articles to be as relevant and informative as possible to those that matter – you, our readers.

We are always just an email away if you'd like to continue letting us know those topics that are most important to you.

Animal Medicines Amnesty returns this November

News Story 1
 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

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
