Joint


Supplement For Cats


intbells, makers of Yumove — one of the country’s best selling triple-action joint sup- plements for dogs — are launching a new veterinary variant designed specifically for cats.


L Containing the highest quality


natural ingredients, Yumove Cat, is signifi cantly free of phosphates, for cats with kidney problems. The man- ufacturer claims that Yumove Cat will aid stiff joints, promote mobility, and support joint structure. Yumove Cat contains key


natural ingredients including natural Chondroitin found in Green Lipped Mussels, which helps to slow down the breakdown of cartilage in a cat’s joints. The Green Lipped Mussel also provides concentrated sources of Omega 3 to help soothe stiffness. Other key ingredients in Yumove


Cat include manganese which sup- ports collagen formation in cartilage, tendons and ligaments, hyaluronic acid which is necessary to help lubri- cate and cushion the joint, and high levels of the purest glucosamine HCl — a major component of cartilage. Yumove Cat is sold as a tasty sprinkle capsule, with one capsule per day being the recommended dose for most cats. The capsule should be split and the contents sprinkled on a cat’s regular food. A single pack of Yumove Cat will provide two months support for an average size cat. Yumove Cat was launched to the veterinary pro- fession a couple of months ago at the BVNA Congress.

tion medicines. Vitofyllin® helps restore vitality and willingness to exercise, especially in the senior dog by improving peripheral and cerebral vascular blood circula- tion. It is indicated to help improve dullness, lethargy, and overall de- meanour in dogs. In addition it has a bronchodilatory activity equiva- lent to amilophylline (a salt of theo- phylline).


The UK dog population is cur-


rently estimated at 10 million. Dogs are living longer with one third of the population now falling into the ‘senior’ range. Therefore age-related prob- lems are on the increase. There are relatively few age-re-


lated behavioural products available; however propentofylline has demon- strated positive effects on multiple systems in the body of senior dogs including the nervous, respiratory, and vascular systems. Vitofyllin® is available in 50mg


and 100mg strengths in blister packs containing 56 tablets. Presented as ‘easy to administer’ four-way split cross-snap-tabs which can be divid-

costs for exchanging and replacing the illuminants considerably, com- pared with the conventional halo- gen technology used with former OT-lights. By using LED technology, the power consumption could be re- duced signifi cantly as well. LED technology


is seen by


some as much more effective than conventional light sources. The heat radiation is reduced to a minimum without using any expensive fi lter technique. The temperature increase in the surgeon’s head area is almost nonexistent. Surgeons have the possibil-


ity to increase the light intensity of the central segment of the OT-light.


This enables an optimum illumina- tion of the wound fi eld according to its texture and the shadowing effects. A high and adequate light intensity is very important especially in cases of narrow and deep wound channels.

opic dermatitis, food allergy, and ear mites. Many dogs with otitis externa require lifelong management of their disease. The best way to prevent otitis is by keeping the dog’s ear clean. This is important for those animals that have pendulous ears, have lots of hair in their ears, or have allergies that make them prone to ear infections.
