Feline Orthopaedics

Aims

This two day course is designed to teach you how to manage the main orthopaedic pathologies you are likely to see in cats.  Some theory will be included in the form of lectures but the emphasis will be placed on how to perform each procedure.  This will maximise the time you spend in the practical room.
