Orthopaedic specialist joins Anderson Moores
"I'm committed to providing the best possible care for our pet patients and referring vets" - Dr Rob Quinn.
Dr Rob Quinn has an interest in expanding the total hip replacement programme. 

Dr Rob Quinn, a European Specialist in Small Animal Surgery, has joined the orthopaedic team at Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists (AMVS) in Hampshire.

After graduating from the University of Glasgow in 2009, Rob spent four years working in practice in West Yorkshire and Melbourne, Australia. In Australia he published his first research paper on the surgical treatment of elbow disease in dogs, before returning to the UK and completing a rotating internship and the University of Liverpool and commencing a surgical residency at Dick White Referrals in Cambridgeshire. 

Rob became a European Specialist in Small Animal Surgery in 2019, and an RCVS-recognised Specialist in Small Animal Surgery in 2020. 

Speaking about his new position, Dr Quinn said: “Anderson Moores has an excellent reputation and some of the best veterinary specialists in the UK, so I’m excited about working in a team of such skilled specialists across all disciplines.

“I’ve always had a passion for surgery, being a specialist in small animal surgery, which covers both soft tissue cases and orthopaedics is an incredibly rewarding job and, has allowed me to develop a particular interest in minimally invasive fracture repair, hip replacement and surgical oncology.

“I hope to expand the total hip replacement programme at AMVS so that as many patients as possible can live long, pain free lives and I’m committed to providing the best possible care for our pet patients and referring vets.”

Director at Anderson Moores, David Walker, added: “We are delighted to welcome Rob to the team at AMVS. He has settled in seamlessly and is looking forward to helping our referring vets, their clients and pets over the years to come.”

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.
