London Vet Show comes to a close
Day two draws to an end for annual show

The second and final day at London Vet Show 2012 will soon be ending, as exhibitors begin to pack away their stands and CPD sessions draw to a close.

Thousands of veterinary surgeons and professionals have attended the fourth annual event, at London's Olympia Grand Hall, with networking and training opportunities in abundance.

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) provided three streams of clinical programmes throughout the two days, with today's talks including 'Saving sight - when to treat and when to refer', 'Tips for developing a cat-friendly practice - more than just avoiding big dogs' and 'Antimicrobial therapy in dentistry - if, when and where?'.

Delegates have been able to attend a line-up of business lectures, sponsor-led seminars, practical workshops, and education sessions - ran by various associations - at the show, alongside the RVC clinical programmes.

Aside from CPD, hundreds of exhibitors have been promoting their charities, products and services for the duration of the show, enabling veterinary professionals to speak-one-to one with sales consultants and learn more about the organisations first hand.

It is true to say that - with bags bursting with information - both delegates and exhibitors will take something away from this valuable event.

We shall look forward to London Vet Show 2013.

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.'
