Use of Medications in Food Producing Animals in Australia

Comments Off on Use of Medications in Food Producing Animals in Australia

British and overseas trained veterinarians locuming or working in Australia should be aware that the following substances are not permitted for use in food-producing animals in Australia. This may be different from Europe in particular – vets practising small animal medicine should be aware of these restrictions as you may not be able to dispense medicines to hobby farm clients in particular that are in use in Europe (eg. Baytril, Metronidazole):

  • carbadox
  • chloramphenicol
  • clenbuterol (except for tocolysis as per APVMA approved label)
  • diethylstilboestrol and related compounds (hexoestrol, dienoestrol)
  • fluoroquinolones
  • nitrofurans (including furazolidone and nitrofurazone)
  • nitroimidazoles (except dimetridazole for use on birds not intended for human consumption and breeders as per APVMA approved label)
  • phenylbutazone
  • salbutamol
  • thyrostats (eg thiouracil)

Comments Off on Join our Practical Neurology for Small Animal Clinicians Lectures during August!

Medical PLUS is proud to host Neurology Series 2023

Neurological presentations can be frightening – not just for the patient and client, but for you as the clinician with the responsibility for diagnosis and treatment.

Which cases can you work up in house and which need referral for advanced imaging? How confident are you that your neurological exam is going to help with localising the problem and reliably inform your path of action? Can you reliably and confidently interpret reflex tests? How about those pesky cranial nerves?

Tutor/s:

  • Thomas Flegel
  • Stacey Brady

Join veterinary neurologist Thomas Flegel for a day focused on mastering the skill of a thorough neurological exam to assist you with accurate neurolocalisation. Using case studies and an interactive approach (get ready for audience participation!), Dr Flegel will cover the circling patient, intervertebral disc disease, other spinal disease and more, whilst Dr Stacey Brady will offer a local perspective on problems of the peripheral nervous system.

Our speakers’ clinical expertise and experience as educators will ensure you leave armed with the tips and tricks you need to ensure you’re doing the best you can – without a feeling of panic – for your neuro patients.
