Practical Sample Techniques in Exotics - event held via Zoom

Currently he provides an ‘exotic’ only consultancy via Greenbay Vets in Torquay; is Veterinary Consultant to Shaldon Wildlife Trust (Zoo) and Exotics Clinical Consultant for VPG Leeds.
Ians’ talk is to try and remove the fear from exotic phlebotomy by giving a very practically based approach to obtaining blood samples from a number of commonly presented avian, reptile and small mammal patients. The aim is to inform delegates of the important aspects of what they need to know in order to obtain suitable blood samples. Hopefully it will give confidence and encourage delegates to attempt or improve their exotic phlebotomy skills and enable an improved level of care for their clients pets.
Kindly sponsored by VPG Leeds.

Help, I’ve Got to go and see an Alpaca! - held via Zoom
Date: Wednesday 30th June 2021 7.45pm
Talk by Claire Whitehead BVM&S MS DACVIM(LA) FHEA MRCVS.
If you’re in large animal practice in the UK, it’s highly likely that you’ll be asked to see South American Camelids. It is important that vets familiarise themselves with the species, their anatomical and physiological differences, and the diseases affecting them in order that an acceptable level of care can be provided. Alternatively, knowing when and where to seek help in the case of problems is vital. This presentation will provide an introduction to some of the most important clinical presentations affecting camelids including parasite problems, anaemia, neonatal sepsis, dental problems, skin problems, and colic.
Held via Zoom.
