POLICE are concerned for the safety of the thieves who stole veterinary drugs and cash from a Perth animal clinic on the weekend.

The incident saw the perpetrators force entry into the Noranda vet between 2pm Saturday and 8am Sunday before rummaging through a number of rooms and looting a safe.

Police fear those responsible don’t understand the dangers associated with veterinary medication, and warn anyone who comes into possession of the drugs not to take them.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestopperswa.com.au.

The US Aquaculture Society and National Aquaculture Association are hosting a free webinar entitled, Aquaculture Animal Welfare, at 11:00 am (U.S. Eastern Standard Time) on Friday, October 19, 2018.
Aquatic animal welfare standards are being voluntarily adopted or regulated into existence in other countries; sometimes these rules are based more on public perception and opinion, rather than science. There is a need to develop and support functional, non-regulatory welfare standards for aquaculture in the US that document current and historical welfare practices.

Is the Schwelmenella mentioned in the article real or a hoax?

But to add to this scenario, I conversed with a bacteriologist who flagged that Mycobacteria would likely be lurking in such waters. Makes sense, since fish are undoubtedly held in stressful conditions, and fed insufficiently such that they try to “eat” dead skin from feet. These would render fish immunosuppressed and become prone to carry and amplify such diseases.

More than 3,000 vets are in Singapore for the congress at Marina Bay Sands, which runs until Sept 28.
