Vi, BVOA Webinar | The Lame Cat: Thinking Beyond Abscesses

TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY 24 JUNE AT 19:30 (UK time)

Think feline lameness is just a cat bite abscess? Think again. This case-based webinar focuses on fractures, trauma and osteoarthritis—bringing practical, evidence-based tips you can use straight away.

Feline lameness isn’t always an abscess. From hidden orthopaedic disease to subtle behavioural signs, this session shows you what to look for—and how to manage it with confidence.

🗓 24 June 2026
⏰ 19:30 (UK time)
💻 Live online via Zoom
Presented by Philip Witte, RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Orthopaedics, this webinar will use real-world case examples to support learning and clinical decision making.

Key learning areas include:
• Feline lameness beyond cat bite abscesses
• Practical assessment of the lame cat
• Common fractures and orthopaedic trauma: what to recognise and when to refer
• Real-world case examples
• Feline osteoarthritis: recognising and managing a hidden disease

🐾 Vet Nurse Awareness Month | Training & Education at Vi 🐾

Training works best when it reflects real life in practice and focuses on what veterinary teams genuinely need.

At Vi, Rachel Beauchamp (RVN) and Jenny Heslington (RVN) support Training & Education across the business, shaping practical, accessible learning informed by clinical experience. This includes supporting Vi webinars, alongside Rachel’s separate collaboration with Vi’s in‑house engineers and the Vi Advisory Board on wider technical and product‑focused activity.

More recently, they’ve been supporting our RVN Roadshows, with Jenny speaking at this year’s events and contributing to practical, nurse‑focused learning. With limited spaces still available in Edinburgh and Northern Ireland, they’ll also be there on the day to welcome attendees and support sessions.

This Vet Nurse Awareness Month, we’re proud to highlight the vet nurses within Vi who support training and education across the profession. 📚✨
