Animal A&E - Vets in Kilsyth

04/12/2025

Did you know Scotland’s main animal welfare law is now 20 years old?

In that time, the world has changed. We’re now tackling challenges the Act never anticipated - from the rise of online animal abuse footage to the growth of the digital pet trade, and new forms of cruelty made possible by social media.

That’s why we’re calling for a full review of the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006 to ensure it keeps pace with modern risks and protects animals in today’s world.

We’re asking MSPs to:
🐾 Strengthen legal and sentencing powers
🐾 Close outdated loopholes
🐾 Modernise the Act for Scotland in 2025 and beyond

Applications are still being accepted for SRUC’s School of Veterinary Medicine and Biosciences VetExplore 2026, a three-day programme at the Aberdeen campus for boys in S3 with an interest in veterinary medicine, being held from 31 March to 2 April 2026.

There are 30 available places on this pilot programme, and we are keen to have boys from a variety of backgrounds.

There are many myths and misperceptions around vet school entry requirements and of SRUC’s mission is to make veterinary medicine accessible to those from non-traditional backgrounds.

Many flat-faced breeds live with BOAS without owners even realising. If your dog struggles on walks, pants heavily, snores loudly or overheats quickly, it could be more than ‘just their breed’. Early checks make all the difference.

Some of you will be surprised, but pigeons can also get vaccinations too! 🐦

Disease prevention is always better than cure! 🦠

A busy wee evening with my usual mixed species caseload.
