Bite-Size CPD: Equine First Aid
Course Introduction:
It’s an article of faith that a horse will manage to hurt itself just when there’s no vet to be found, in an area they’ve been happily living in for ages. Of course, while you’re waiting for the horse-box to show up, you need to act quickly to save your equine friend from further harm. This lecture is warmly recommended for horse owners and carers who may be in a position to render first aid to an injured horse.
This lecture is the second in a six part series on Equine Nursing.
Course Content:
Delegates will consider:
• Wounds
• Colic
• Eye emergencies
• Fractures
• Severe lameness
• Choke
• Pyrexia
We will discuss the above conditions in some detail and empower the horse owner/carer to assess the severity of the condition and administer first aid.
Who is it for?
Suitable for those involved in the care of horses, ponies and donkeys, who would like to develop their background knowledge of common equine emergencies.
