American and European Zoo and Wildlife Vet Meeting 2018

Sarah spoke at this CPD event outlining how veterinary professionals can use their basic principles to approach exotic cases.

Bird and reptile handling was demonstrated by the highly skilled and experienced Matt Rendle RVN.

The lecture finished with an interactive quiz - prizes were given by VetArk!  The importance of team work was highlighted!

Julian was invited to speak to the students about the work that goes into conservation of the Common Dormouse in the UK.

The students were especially interested in how dormice were paired up for captive breeding prior to release and how the monitoring continues.

Sarah spoke about how vets can get involved in primate conservation in the field and how students can have an impact to help these endangered species.  Poaching of whole families of primates still continues with the babies being sold as pets.
