Electronic consultation: 13 September – 8 October 2010
Call for documents and invitation

In many countries, an increasing number of unvaccinated and uncared for dogs are roaming in urban spaces and human habitats. This is often due to the increase in urban food waste, the consequences of civil strife, when people had to abandon their dogs for fear that when the animals would bark, the enemy could to locate their owners and kill or abduct them, or simply because of lack of responsible ownership.

These stray and feral dogs give rise to a series of human health, animal health and welfare concerns and the management of their populations has ethical, socio-economic, political and religious impacts in many countries. FAO acknowledges that human health, including the prevention of zoonotic diseases notably, but not only rabies, is a priority, as it negatively affects people’s lives in many ways.

Veterinary Nursing Week: 18-24 July

‘Pets in the park’ dog health checks at Saltram House, Plymouth, and equine health check demonstrations at the Royal Welsh Show, Powys, are just two of the events planned across the UK to mark the British Association of Veterinary Nursing’s VN Week (18-24 July).

“VN Week has become an important date in the calendar, helping to push nurses into the heart of their community, to promote pet ownership issues and, of course, the role of the nurse themselves,” says Dot Creighton, RCVS VN Council member.

Veterinary nurses are an important part of the veterinary team and carry out a great number of roles from providing expert nursing care to advising owners on pet care.

“Clients may not be aware of the qualifications or registration status of the nursing staff in their practice and should be encouraged to ask about the team caring for their pet - and the facilities available to them”.
