The Ghana Veterinary Medical Association [GVMA] is celebrating the World Veterinary Day in a challenging period in it's over three decade long existence.
Veterinary professionals, both surgeons and technicians, in the civil service are struggling to access adequate resources to work efficiently. Many of them are disgruntled because current policies which put them at a disadvantage.
Despite all these challenges, veterinary professionals plan, through their association, to organise a series of media talk shows, public symposium on avian influenza and climax it with a grand durbur of chiefs in the capital city of Accra.
An aggressive media publicity seems to be the only means left for veterinarians to put their numerous cases on the agenda of development for Ghana. |

The Jordanian Veterinary Medical Association will celebrate the World Veterinary Day on the 26th April. We will organize to held a work shop on that day to discuses the enforcement of the veterinary services in Jordan under the patronage of his Excellency the Minister of Agriculture. The Ministry of Health, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Jordan Food and Drug Administration have also been invited.
We have invited a speaker from FAO regional office to talk about OIE international standard of veterinary service. Our aim from this activity is to improve the veterinary services in Jordan and to give independency for the veterinary service in Jordan because it's over whelmed by the agriculture service with very limited resource and authority.
We are looking forward to reach some achievement for the benefit of the profession and the country through our activity during the World Veterinary Day on the 26th April. Dr. Abdel Fattah Kilani - WorldVet - President of Jordanian Veterinary Medical Association |

With the celebration of Senior’s Week on April 6 – 13, the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) urges pet owners to think about the health of their older animals.
Dr Nigel Scott, NSW Division President of the AVA says that the needs of senior pets change as they grow older and pet owners need to be mindful of these changes.
“Many pets are considered to be seniors after seven years of age depending on the type of pet and breed. Senior pets show signs of ageing such as reduced vision, hearing loss, dental problems and skin problems.
Older animals may also exhibit behavioural changes, have more lumps and bumps or show signs of discomfort. Some common signs to look out for include loss of appetite, increased thirst, breathing difficulties, frequent urination, slower reflexes and general stiffness. [worldvet]

Veterinary Science is changing fast. No longer are qualified vets expected to be omni-competent James Herriot clones. Specialisation is now the norm. In short, today's vets are either politicians or pet doctors. They either work for the government controlling livestock, or spend their days in suburbia cashing in on pampered pooches and neurotic kitty cats. Graham Easton has been talking to vets in training at the University of Liverpool to find out what life is like for a young vet.
