Restraint and Handling Difficult Patients
(Con impuestos)
Appropriate restraint and handling of our veterinary patients is important not only from a staff and owner safety standpoint but also vital to our patient's health and anxiety while in the hospital. This webinar will help you learn some creative tips and tricks to save your sanity, save your skin, and keep our patients as calm and happy as possible. Special attention will be paid to the veterinary staff's mental health and state of mind as that will impact the patients as well. The species covered in this webinar will be limited to dogs and cats.
The Australian Veterinary Nurse and Technician (AVNAT) Regulatory Council has allocated (1) AVNAT CPD point to this continuing education activity.

Fence at the top of the cliff or an ambulance at the bottom?
We can help to prevent common problems from developing by recognising that we are well placed to educate owners during the second vaccination appointment on how to foster emotional resilience in their dog or cat. In other words, if they put the work in at the beginning, then the chance of a behavioural problem developing reduces. Let’s talk about more than worming, nutrition and neutering!
This webinar aims to look at:
• Understanding what motivates cats and dogs and how we reinforce their behaviour – good and bad
• Advising owners on how good intentions early on will lead to good welfare outcomes in a variety of common behavioural challenges
• Recognising the communication and body language that often precedes a dog bite – it’s not about dominance!
