Developing practical, accessible animal welfare teaching material for Chinese veterinarians.

We are pleased to be working with Hayley Walters, the R(D)SVS Animal Welfare nurse who is currently working with the JMICAWE’s Heather Bacon on developing teaching resources to assist with animal welfare education both here and abroad. They are currently engaged on a project collating information, images and detailed instructions on how to carry out neutering in dogs and cats, causing the animals the minimum of discomfort.

Following a long process, they are now ready to add the finishing touches to what will be an informative, detailed, and practical multi-media educational platform describing best practise for neutering dogs and cats, translated into Chinese to be used as a learning resource for the Chinese veterinary surgeon, vet student and veterinary lecturer. It includes every aspect of neutering from admission/initial examination, surgical preparation, and analgesia protocols to actual surgical techniques, fluid therapy and anaesthesia monitoring with a strong emphasis on high standards of animal welfare.

The promotion of a gold standard approach to animal welfare in this multi-media DVD will be augmented by the two day symposium run as part of the CVMA’s veterinary conference in Suzhou in October this year, where the DVD will be made freely available to attendees.
