🐕 Researchers from the RVC working in collaboration with the University of Cambridge have found that anti-seizure drugs (ASD) increase appetite in dogs with epilepsy. This often results in these medicated dogs becoming overweight or obese. As well as having higher food drive, epileptic dogs on treatment are more likely to be given treats to help administer medication and to be less active.

🐎 The RVC has installed a new advanced Computed Tomography (CT) scanner in its Equine Referral Hospital, allowing vets to better diagnose and treat conditions in horses.

The new CT enables the scanning of regions of the body that were previously not possible and will therefore enhance the visualisation of disease processes, aiding earlier diagnosis and treatment to improve prognosis.

The CT scanner was funded by donations from trusts and legacies facilitated by the RVC’s charity, Royal Veterinary College Animal Care Trust.
