EQUINE CLIENT MEETING NOVEMBER 2009
We are pleased to announce that our next Equine Meeting will be on Thursday 19th. November 2009 at 7.00 pm for a 7.15 start. Entry to the meeting is free to clients and their friends. The venue will be Ivybridge Rugby Club which proved a great success last time and will feature two lectures followed by a finger buffet. We are grateful for generous sponsorship from two pharmaceutical companies, Merial and Vetoquinol UK Ltd. The first lecture will be delivered by Richard Hepburn MRCVS of Willesley Equine Clinic an internal medicine specialist and expert in the field of gastroscopy and will be about Equine Gastric Ulceration Syndrome (EGUS). The incidence of EGUS and its significance both for competition and leisure horses has previously been seriously underestimated so this is currently a “hot topic”. The second subject will be that of feed supplements or nutraceuticals. Vetoquinol will be putting up one of their veterinary advisers to discuss this area as leading manufacturers of scientifically validated feed additives. Much money is wasted needlessly on additives which are neither necessary nor appropriate. Many products are bought “off the shelf” on anecdotal advice from the person in the next door stable or the yard “expert”. We are keen to create a culture in which we can offer advice to clients and enable them to provide best support for their animals and achieve value for money. We shall be sending out fliers regarding the meeting shortly with tear off strips with which to book places so that we can have an idea of numbers. Alternatively you can register your intention to attend by telephoning the practice manager Mrs. Annie Lee on 01752 892700 pr on line at annie.lee@filhamparkvets.myzen.co.uk |
