New clinical support app for small animal practitioners
The app will provide quick access to the latest evidence-based information.
'VETbytes' provides easy access to the latest evidence-based information.

A new point-of-care clinical support app for small animal practitioners has been launched by Vet2Vet in collaboration with the BSAVA.

The VETbytes app gives veterinary surgeons, nurses, and animal healthcare teams access to the latest evidence-based information, including an extensive library of medical summaries drawn from global guidelines and peer-reviewed journals.

Covering more than 100 topics, the summaries are readable and guide professionals through the whole patient journey. Further benefits include drug (and CRI) calculators, a quick reference section and links to hundreds of source abstracts.

App founders Dr Zoe Coker and Dr Bronwen Eastwood said that the resource addresses the need for a mobile-friendly resource of practical and evidence-based clinical guides that vets can access quickly and easily.

“There is rarely time during the working day to read all the necessary journals, articles and up-to-date texts”, said Dr Coker. “VETbytes collates all the evidence on a specific medical condition and consolidates it into a short synopsis called a Keep it Simple Summary (KISS).”

BSAVA President Professor Ian Ramsey said that the app will provide significant benefits and support for BSAVA members.

“Every busy small animal clinician should try out VETbytes as it is a real paradigm shift in mobile resources for vets,” he said.

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.'
