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.

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……

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

This story is a microcosm of why I left private vet practice. The final straw was a morning surgery in which 3 brachycephalic dogs (frenchies/pugs) presented in severe pain with disc problems. It's their breeding, it's so wrong. mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/sup…

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…

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.
