How do you feel about #nailclipping in #dogs and #cats? We surveyed Australian #veterinary team members and found there is scope to improve welfare of animals and safety of veterinary team members www.mdpi.com/2306-7381/13...

Loved, loved, loved this book about who is included in our sphere of moral considerations. A fascinating discussion about #animalethics in the #anthropocene.

When we launched our book, #veterinarian & florist Edelicia Lopez created this educational floral arrangement of toxic-to-pets #plants complete with a quiz so attendees could test their knowledge! (We ensured no animals came near). Learning never stops in vetmed! www.routledge.com/The-Veterina...

As another Australian veterinary society journal (the Australian Veterinary Practitioner) goes on "pause" this year, this brilliant article on the junkification of academic research should give us all pause to consider why these are vital forums: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Trump's freeze on all US foreign aid has halted numerous #USAID funded research studies. This puts many thousands of people globally at risk of violations of their fundamental rights as research participants, write @bachynski.bsky.social and @martinmckee.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/...

Had the honour of briefly looking after a colleague's #collie today. Such windswept beauty! #dog #canine #pets

Men’s monopoly on global health leadership is at odds with the scientific evidence, writes @jocalynclark.bsky.social. And with the current backlash against rights and equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts, it’s even more important to advocate for gender equality www.bmj.com/content/388/...

A friend borrowed my motion activated camera to film her driveway (ignore the date, I hadn't set it). #wildlife #kangaroos #Australia

The loveliest #dogears on a young #Italiangreyhound. A striking breed, susceptible to #fractures secondary to joyfully leaping around the place, so one must take care (apologies for my #veterinary negative cognitive bias. We tend to look at animals and think "what can go wrong here?") . #dogs

For god’s sake, quit using Chatgpt & similar programs as a Google search!! Has immense carbon impact and frankly it’s ability to synthesize information — if you ever actually fact check it, which I have — is dumspter quality. Novel concept: read a book, research it yourself what you want to know!

Was interviewed on ABC re #heatstress in #dogs. Major causes are high ambient temp & exertion. High #fatality rates: prevention critical. Avoid exercise in hotter parts of day; ensure dogs kept in well ventilated, cool environments w water & shade. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
