    Advanced Wildlife Veterinary Treatment CVE course

    • Advanced Wildlife Veterinary Treatment CPD course

      This Advanced Wildlife Treatment Course is designed to give veterinary professionals an in-depth knowledge of the modern approaches to mammalian and avian wildlife treatment options after first aid and stabilisation have been achieved.

      A WRI survey published in the Veterinary Ireland Journal Wildlife seen, treatment and outcomes in Irish veterinary hospitals and clinics’ highlighted the vital role that veterinary practitioners play in the welfare and conservation of Irish wildlife – in one year alone, over 3000 casualties were brought into veterinary practices in Ireland.

      Veterinary practices that treat injured and orphaned wildlife are highly respected and admired by their clients and the public, which in turn; via social media and word of mouth, increases their client numbers. These practices benefit by being identified as compassionate and caring to all animals, clients trust these practices more, and hence have greater confidence in them should their own domestic animals need help.
