🐕 New research from the RVC has found that advising owners to behave calmly during their arrivals and departures helped puppies adjust to being left on their own. These findings provide valuable insights for veterinarians, trainers and puppy owners which can help prevent separation-related behaviour problems.

🐎 A new study from the RVC has identified that ageing causes a significant loss of blood vessels in the tendons of horses. This discovery offers vital insight into why older horses and people are more prone to tendon injuries and why these injuries heal more slowly and less effectively. The findings will help vets and trainers identify horses at higher risk of injury and choose the most appropriate treatment and rehabilitation strategies to improve recovery.

🐉🪰 A new study led by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) and Imperial College London has revealed how dragonflies use a small number of strategically positioned sensors on their wings to monitor wing shape in real time. This simple but highly effective biological system enables the insects to remain exceptionally stable or manoeuvre in flight, despite having comparatively tiny brains. The findings of this research offer important new insights for bioengineering that could inspire future aircraft, robotics and autonomous vehicle design.

The study, which is the largest of its kind, also found an 800% increase in surgeries to manage breathing problems related to extreme body shapes in flat-faced dog breeds, with French Bulldogs identified as the breed most commonly requiring this surgery.
