This 'veterinary science' study applied severe harms (enucelation & death) to two dogs without even a basic ethics statement, and zero justification given for the benefit of dogs or other animal health/welfare. Be angry with me please. This is not OK research practice.
Custom-made 3D printed eyes developed for dogs. But, is surgically removing eyes from young healthy dogs and euthanizing them 6 months later worth it? PLOS ONE, November 2020 Link to paper: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
We’re supporting the #CutTheCrop campaign. Ear cropping is illegal in the UK. Please support, sign, and share the petition to stop the rising number of ear-cropped dogs in the UK. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5743… #FlopNotCrop @BritishVets @theFOALGroup
What's the issue with ear cropping of dogs? And how can you take action to help this cruel trend? Head over to our campaign page for details (bva.co.uk/take-action/ea…) and sign & share our petition with @theFOALGroup here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5743… #CutTheCrop #FlopNotCrop
Are we getting carried away with 'cool stuff'? Dr Polly Taylor on the #ethics of veterinary treatment & overtreatment. How do we keep our animal patients' best interests in clear focus? #AWFdebate
We've started off with a fantastic lecture from Polly Taylor on ethics in charity medicine "we, as vets, are privilged to be able to use euthanasia - it is not a failure" #charityvet2021
The over treatment of veterinary patients is a cause of concern for many veterinary clinicians. The first step is to talk about the problem. veterinary-practice.com/article/just-b……
We've extended our Legislative Reform Consultation until Friday 23 April 2021 in recognition of the difficult current circumstances & to allow members of the public/ profession more time to respond to the LWP Report. Full details on how to respond here: rcvs.org.uk/news-and-views…
The time has come for clear and unequivocal clarification of what can and cannot be carried out on client-owned animals in the name of innovation. bvajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ve…
Remember that horrifying dog eye removal study in Plos that had no ethical defence? The journal have finally published a statement on it here: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… @AMCELL @JessMartinLab @dogsciencesays
The RCVS has started a cruciate surgery registry to help keep track of which surgeries are most successful and importantly, identify cruciate surgeries associated with higher complication rates. vetaudit.rcvsk.org/canine-cruciat…
Read and share please. These cats are bred with crippling defects to get the folded ears. Do not buy a fold cat.
It is always disheartening to see cat breeds designed to have extreme or unusual features – such as Scotish Folds – popularised by the media, brands and celebrities. We urge all cat lovers to recognise the problems and not perpetuate them – please put #HealthOverLooks

Valuable & thought provoking talk from @VetPolly @fitzpatrickref “Just because we can does it mean we should?” The 1st clear description of aspa & vsa that I have ever received. The profession should be talking more about some of the issues that were raised.
@neurovet_clare @VetPolly @fitzpatrickref Well done Polly.
