Vet conference to focus on modern treatments for several species

More than 650 vets and veterinary nurses from 43 countries will be in Dublin for this week’s annual Congress of the European Companion Animal Veterinary Association.

The international congress takes place at Dublin’s Convention Centre from Oct 3 to 5, and is organised jointly by Veterinary Ireland and the Northern Ireland branch of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association.

The event will feature 114 scientific and continuous professional development sessions over the three days, focusing on up-to-date treatments and practices ranging from orthopaedics and epilepsy to dentistry and ophthalmology — entirely focused on companion animals, or pets.
