Neonatal and paediatric care is often a significant source of stress in veterinary practice, as these fragile patients are rarely covered in depth during standard nursing education. This course is designed for nurses who want to overcome the uncertainty of low case numbers and feel fully prepared for these unique clinical challenges. You will explore every stage of early development, including the complexities of hand-rearing, calculating specific nutritional requirements, and managing fluid therapy for tiny patients.
The training also addresses the increasing demand for client education, empowering you to provide accurate, professional advice to breeders. In addition to medical nursing and risk factor recognition, the course provides essential guidance on providing safe anaesthesia and preparing for caesarean sections in practice. Whether you are supporting a lactating dam or an orphaned neonate, this course ensures you have the attributes to provide high-quality care during the first critical months of life.
