Veterinary Record

Last updated

History

The journal was established in July 1888 by William Hunting, who is said to have started the journal with loans of £50 from another London veterinary surgeon, T. A. Dollar, which he never repaid, and £20 from Dollar's son, J.A W. Dollar. Although The Veterinarian (1828) and The Veterinary Journal (1844) were well established and covered some of the same ground as Hunting's new journal, the fact that Veterinary Record was published every week and carried verbatim reports of council and local association meetings gave it an immediacy that the other publications could not match. [2]

The National Veterinary Medical Association of Great Britain and Ireland took over publication of the journal from January 1921. [3]

From July 2009 to December 2020, the journal was published by the BMJ Group on behalf of the British Veterinary Association. From January 2021 has been published by Wiley. [4] [5]

Brunus edwardii joke

The April Fools' Day 1972 issue included a paper on the diseases of Brunus edwardii: a description of lost limbs and thinning hair suffered by an animal whose Latin name means "brown" and "Edward". The paper was accompanied by sketches of a teddy bear resembling Winnie the Pooh. [14] [15]

The journal is mentioned and appears regularly in the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small . In the episode "The Call of the Wild", the character based on James Herriot's assistant Brian Nettleton, has an article published in the Record, much to the chagrin of Herriot's partner Donald Sinclair.
