This study aimed to describe the annual incidence and clinical management of tail injury in UK dogs under primary care and identify risk factors.Methods: A nested case‒control design was used within a cohort of dogs under primary care in the UK in 2019. Clinical records were automatically searched and manually verified to identify incident tail injury cases and extract management data. Multivariable logistic regression was then used to evaluate associations between potential risk factors and tail injury diagnosis.Results: The analysis included 285 tail injury cases and 285,000 randomly selected controls. The estimated annual incidence risk for tail injury was 0.23%. Increased odds of injury were observed in boxers, English springer spaniels and cocker spaniels; dogs aged less than 2 years; male entire, male neutered and female neutered dogs; working and gundog breeds; and dogs weighing between 20 and 30 kg. Systemic analgesia and antibiosis were prescribed in 45.6% and 32.6% of cases, respectively. Surgical amputation was undertaken in 9.1% of cases.Limitations: This study relied on retrospective electronic health record data. Only factors consistently recorded in clinical records were available.Conclusion: Tail injury is relatively uncommon but carries serious welfare risks. Identifying high-risk groups offers valuable insights for veterinarians, breeders and policymakers.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e6020"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145287114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using regression models, we studied associations between the country farmers lived in and psychosocial and behaviour change factors.Results: There were many between-country differences in farmers' psychosocial and COM-B profiles. Accounting for multiple tests, Scottish cattle farmers reported higher trust in governmental judgements for disease control and greater social opportunity to control disease than English cattle farmers.Limitations: There were relatively low numbers of respondents from Scotland and Wales. As such, the results should be interpreted with caution. Northern Irish farmers could not be included in the analyses as there were too few responses.Conclusion: Cattle farmers differed in their psychosocial profiles by country. Our sample of Scottish farmers reported higher trust in, and felt better supported by, government in the context of disease control than the English farmers, which could be due to different disease control approaches between devolved governments. Understanding between-country differences in farmer psychosocial attributes has implications for animal health governance and approaches to disease control.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e5672"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145281157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An effective vaccine is needed to prevent the disease.Methods: A blinded randomised controlled trial was carried out using an autologous SDSD vaccine in a commercial sheep flock in the UK. Two doses of vaccine were administered to 481 pregnant ewes, with 509 ewes left unvaccinated. The SDSD antibody titres of the ewes and their lambs were then measured. Any adverse effects or cases of joint-ill were also reported.Results: Ten cases of joint-ill occurred, with five of these lambs born to vaccinated ewes and five to unvaccinated ewes. Serum from 85 vaccinated ewes and 88 control ewes was analysed using an SDSD antibody ELISA, with higher titres found in vaccinated ewes. Higher SDSD titres were observed in lambs from vaccinated ewes (n = 87) than in lambs from unvaccinated ewes (n = 91). No differences were detected between colostrum samples from vaccinated and unvaccinated ewes. No vaccination-associated adverse effects were detected.Limitations: Randomisation was effective; however, ELISA data were limited to mainly crossbred ewes, reducing the power of the breed comparisons.Conclusions: The vaccine had no effect in reducing the number of lambs with joint-ill born to vaccinated ewes compared with unvaccinated ewes. However, vaccinating ewes did have a positive effect on their serum SDSD antibody concentrations and those of their lambs.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e5667"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145276035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These sources were mainly from public sector stakeholders and included disease registries, product registries and records on the use of antimicrobials. More data sources were identified for production animals than for companion animals. Only half of the identified sources were directly accessible.Limitations: The limitations of this study include the low survey response rate and the minimal input from private sector stakeholders.Conclusions: This study represents the first example of using a landscape analysis approach to analyse animal health data sources in Europe.

In this study, we examine whether positive factors buffer (i.e., weaken) the association between emotional demands and depression among veterinary employees.Methods: We surveyed psychosocial working conditions and depression in a population of 885 employees in clinical veterinary practice. The data were analysed using logistic regression analysis.Results: An increased risk of depression was found for participants reporting high emotional demands (odds ratio [OR] 4.21; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.68‒6.60). Participants reporting high emotional demands in combination with low levels of meaning at work (OR 5.08; 95% CI 2.64‒9.79), cooperation with their immediate supervisor (OR 4.09; 95% CI 2.27‒6.45), influence at work (OR 3.69; 95% CI 2.11‒6.45) and cooperation between colleagues (OR 3.85; 95% CI 2.04‒7.28) had an increased risk of depression compared to participants reporting high emotional demands in combination with high levels of the above-mentioned factors. A statistically significant buffering effect for the combination of high emotional demands and high meaning at work was observed (relative excess risk due to interaction ‒3.35; 95% CI ‒6.40 to ‒0.30).Limitation: This was a cross-sectional study, meaning that causal associations between the variables cannot be established.Conclusions: High levels of meaning at work buffered the association between emotional demands and the risk of depression in the study population.
