A visit to the vet can be a stressful experience for cats. For a species that needs a sense of control, territory and familiarity to feel safe, a trip to the vets is frightening and the distress this causes to the cat and also to their owner is a leading cause of cats not receiving the veterinary care they need and deserve.
Taking a cat’s eye view of the whole journey from home to consulting room to ward and back again can open our eyes to the needs of cats and their owners, allowing us to make simple changes that will make a big difference to them.
This one day course for vets and vet nurses will look at all aspects of developing a more feline friendly ethos and the multiple advantages that it can bring to the practice and the veterinary team as well as the cats and their owners.
Topics to be covered include:-
Cat Handling
Improving the Cat Owner’s Experience
Reduced Stress Cat Hospitalisation
Safe Sedation Approaches for Fractious Cats
Pain Scoring and Analgesia for Cats
