Description
Did you know that 66% of accidents in the veterinary clinic are caused by scratches, bites, and kicks from animals? Why does this happen so frequently? This Welfare and Behaviour lecture will look at what we can realistically do in to help make our patients feel like they do not need to use threat-repelling behaviour on us, and therefore have a better experience in the clinic.
Learning Objectives
- Be familiar with recognising stressed dog and cat behaviour
- Recognise when a cat or dog is exhibiting signs of pain
- Identify the validated pain scoring systems available for cats and dogs
- Recognise the practical steps you can take to improve patient welfare in each area of the clinic
