Webinar highlights increasing threat of Angiostrongylus vasorum and other nematodes
Dr Ian Wright.

Dr Ian Wright discusses the most effective treatment and prevention strategies.

CPD provider elearning.vet has launched a free webinar highlighting the increasing threat of Angiostrongylus vasorum and other nematodes to human and animal health. Hosted by parasitologist Dr Ian Wright, head of ESCAAP UK, the webinar also discusses the most effective treatment and prevention strategies.

Dr Wright said: “With surveys showing deworming frequencies below those recommended by ESCCAP and concerns surrounding over treatment of cats and dogs, there has never been a more important time to examine the importance of routine roundworm prevention. Without adequate control of Toxocara canis and Angiostronglyus vasorum, the impact on owners and their pets can be considerable."

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
