Quotes

Helen Langham from Novartis said: "Farmers should seek guidance from their vet or animal health advisors if they suspect their lambs are at risk from Nematodirus and should follow SCOPS guidelines in the treatment of their animals."
"There was a tremendous urgency for a SBV vaccine in the UK especially given the marked increase in confirmed cases over the past year and the increasing importance to help control this devastating disease."
"Vet Care Consult harnesses the latest technology to help the veterinary team communicate more effectively with clients, helping them to understand their pets' health and wellness issues.  Better communication leads to improved compliance which, in turn, helps to strengthen the vital bond between a practice and its clients."
"I aim to raise £4,050 and I'm appealing to the local and national community of fellow pet lovers," she said. "Over the next 10 months I'll be doing events ranging from bake sales and packing shopping to dog walking and jewellery selling to reach my target."
