Multiple cat deaths cause concern
Six cats found mauled on a single street in Wales

The RSPCA is appealing for information after concerns that six cats have been found dead in the same street in Tylorstown, Wales, over the past two months.

It is alleged that the cats were each found mauled and dismembered in Gwernllwyn Terrace. A cat owner and resident in the street reported the incidents to the RSPCA on September 30.

Dog attacks are suspected to be behind the deaths, according to RSPCA inspector Selina Chan. She said: "This is a very distressing report and must have been incredibly upsetting for the owners to find their pets like this.

"It’s vital that anyone who knows anything about this horrible incident comes and talk to us in confidence.

"It is likely that the animal responsible for these death is probably a large dog, but we need more information before we can take this any further."

The charity is urging anyone with any information about these incidents, or any related incidents in the area, to contact them on 0300 123 8018.

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
