Care for Chronic Kitties

The meeting is open to all members of FAB and interested members of the public, including veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, cat breeders, cattery proprietors, those involved in cat rescue and cat owners.

Chronic health problems such as diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, bladder disease and chronic kidney disease are common conditions affecting our feline friends. They pose diagnostic and management challenges to vets, nurses and cat owners alike.

This year’s Edinburgh FAB study day at the Easter Bush Veterinary Centre in Roslin will provide you with up to date information on diagnosis and therapy of some of the most common chronic diseases as well as hands on tips for home care of these patients.

Together we can improve the quality of life of our cats!

Attendance costs £40, including lunch, tea and coffee (1 educational voucher for FAB members)

We have developed a new online course based on the successful ‘Companion Animal Behaviour and Welfare’ CD-ROM.  The course will start in September 2008, with further courses running on a monthly basis from January 2009.

Many people own pets, yet few owners understand much about why their pet behaves the way it does. This online course will provide you with information on animal behaviour, how the behaviour of companion animals is affected by the environment in which they are kept and how this can lead to the development of behavioural problems.

Species covered:

• Dogs
• Cats
• Horses
• Rabbits
• Rodents (Guinea Pigs, Rats, Mice, Hamsters, Gerbils)
• African grey parrots
• Green iguanas
