Down the rabbit hole…
Why not plan a mad hatter tea party?
The RCVS Trust will take part in National Pet Month (3 April – 3 May) and is asking veterinary practices to put on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ themed fundraising events.

“The Trust aims to improve the health and well-being of dogs, cats, and other popular household pets and over the past five years has put nearly £900,000 into this cause,” says Cherry Bushell, RCVS Trust Director.  “As a small charity we do rely on our supporters – and National Pet Month is a good opportunity to raise money and have fun.”
 
Why Alice in Wonderland as a theme?  “The Trust supports curiosity and a sense of wonder,” says Cherry.  “So we came up with the Alice in Wonderland idea – which is topical and also has lots of scope for fundraising and publicity.”
 
If you’d enjoy hosting a Mad Hatter’s tea party – or raffling off the Queen of Heart’s tarts – then why not register with National Pet Month and take part.  Further information and a free events pack can be obtained from www.nationalpetmonth.org.uk.

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.
