The cute ones that make you nervous...


No doubt that first opinion small animal practice comes with some challenges in the form of cute small furies that may bring up our insecurities (and passions!) as vets...

Impostors?...

Many owners are usually very keen on their pet family and familiar with the species, making us feel like they know more about them than us, who should be the "experts".

Husbandry

We are not as familiar with husbandry of so many different species as we are with dogs and cats.

Clinical puzzles

We are less confident with the physical examination, differential diagnoses and diagnostic options and procedores for the exotic species.

The GP foundations


This workshop was created to help general practitioners with first opinion resolution of common cases and confidence approaching these species with clients.
