About this course
Would you like to be more confident in your approach to a definitive diagnosis and/or effective treatment plan of camelid skin disease?
South American camelids, such as alpacas and llamas, are small in number as a national herd. However, they belong to highly motivated owners who are keen to promote their health and welfare. Such animals seem to be prone to chronic skin disease and in many cases reaching a definitive diagnosis and or effective treatment plan can be challenging. A variety of parasitic and microbial factors, amongst others, may be involved.
This course aims to help you be aware of some of the causes of skin disease of camelids, how you may use appropriate diagnostic tests to establish a diagnosis and to be aware of potential treatment strategies.
This course is suitable for recently graduated vets or any vet with an interest in enhancing their understanding of camelid skin disease.
Why do this course
This course is delivered from the perspective of camelid management in the United Kingdom. It will help you to build your confidence in approaching these cases, establish a plan of investigation and manage owner expectations in the long term management of chronic cases.
