'Vets do not just say “age” as an excuse for ill health

Dental disease (breath)
Cardiac disease (cough)
Any diarrhoea

This is lazy pet ownership being palmed onto vets. But it’s ok cos it’s “heartbreaking”. Same ppl say they “did everything” for the dog

One of the reasons that universities are facing a crisis is because the sector has allowed the media and the government to frame higher education purely in terms of individual value - study is reduced to little more than higher earnings that benefit individual graduates.

But…

Alright. I have sewn up enough pediatric dog bites to the face to feel pretty comfortable saying this.

DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD APPROACH A DOG THEY DONT KNOW. But also be wary of any dogs you DO know. Basically be as hyped re: toddlers and dogs as you are about toddlers and pools.

This is a really exciting offer for UK & Ireland vet students! Congress is the most engaging and educational conference I’ve ever been to.

This is something that people within pets in their lives don’t appreciate. Psychologically pets *are* family and their loss huts just as much as losing a human member of the household.

Join us in Norwich for food, a catch up and some *free* CPD for BSAVA members.

Emily Thomas from Dick White Referrals will give us an update on small animal CPR to give you the skills to help your patients when they need it the most.

Really pleased to see more evidence emerging to support the safe avoidance of antibiotics in animals.

Vet students - just a reminder you never know who else is around. We're a profession held to a high regard, so if you're having loud conversations in public places, be mindful of who else can hear you. Because it might include lecturers at your uni....

Walk your dogs early morning or late evening in this #heatwave . Even then, do the 5-second tarmac test to check if it's safe to walk your dog.

If it feels too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws. #DogsDieOnHotWalks Met Office

*RT please* Dogs should never be left in cars or conservatories in this #heatwave , even for a few minutes.

If you see a dog in a car today, call 999 immediately.

Like #tapir ? Think they're weird? B-b-b-b-b-baby you just ain't seen nothin' yet! 😉

Swing by my UAntwerp Funmorph poster at #ICVM2023 (P2.7) today during the poster session (or the morning drinks break), where you can learn how (we think) tapirs do, and play with #3Dprinting ! 😊

I cannot believe that Department of Health and Social Care are letting this world-leading institution fade away.

Funny how breeders will create dogs with no nose and s-shaped spines but then advise limited vaccines because “it might hurt them”.

🍂 THE HEARTSTOPPER TRAILER IS HERE!!!!! 🍂

⚠️ DON’T DO THIS! ⚠️

This is a sure fire way to get bitten badly. That dog looks nervous and is trying to give you a warning that it is unhappy.

If your adult dog tries to bite with exposed white eyes and it’s ears back then back off and give it some space.

We've reported this hateful tweet to Twitter and urge you to do the same.
