课程名称：诊所中的动物福利 课程概述：为什么有些动物去兽医那里会有负面的体验？这可能与预期的疼痛、环境气味、等候室的颜色、咨询室的噪音等诸多因素相关。本课程将探讨兽医、兽医护士、动物护理者和宠物主人可以如何在每一个临床就诊阶段（从运输、等待区、检查室、手术室到恢复期）保障动物的福利。 专家将在本课程中分享他们的见解。 课程大纲： 1. **动物行为与福利在诊所中的应用** 本周我们研究动物福利的科学，如何使用证据进行客观评估，以确定动物的正向或负向福利，以及在兽医诊所中这一点为何重要。我们还将探讨正常的猫、狗和兔子的行为，探讨人类激励犬只攻击行为的动因，以及如何应对主人报告的犬只攻击行为。 2. **动物福利：等待区和咨询室** 本周重点是如何帮助宠物主人在带宠物就诊前让它们更容易适应诊所环境，以及诊所工作人员如何在宠物进入建筑后减轻它们的焦虑。我们将定义“触发叠加”和“建立福利银行账户”等术语。还将通过最新的科学证据探讨提高患者福利、减少候诊室和咨询室压力的技术，如低压力处理的技巧，如何对猫、狗和兔子进行低压力检查，以及如何处理表现出攻击性的猫狗。 3. **动物福利：准备和手术室** 本周我们将深入探讨如何让准备室（即治疗室）对患者的担忧更少。我们将讨论手术前的预防性多模式镇痛，以及轻麻醉与疼痛感知之间的区别。讨论如何使手术室及恢复室更注重动物福利的方式，并考虑如何改善长期住院患者的诊疗体验。 4. **动物福利：术后/犬舍/护理** 本周讨论兔子、猫和狗的疼痛——如何识别、评估和治疗疼痛，以及为什么生理上治疗急性疼痛至关重要。我们还将研究疼痛通路、多模式镇痛，以及给主人提供术后护理建议以确保在他们带宠物回家后继续保持良好的福利，同时讨论如果动物需要严格休息，该如何丰富它们的生活。 通过本课程，参与者将能够掌握改善动物在就诊过程中体验的知识和技能，促进它们的整体福利。
Name:Animal Behaviour and Welfare in the Clinic
Description:In this first week, we look at animal welfare as a science, how we can use evidence to make objective measures to determine whether an animal is experiencing positive or negative welfare, and why it is so important in the veterinary clinic. We’ll also look at what constitutes normal cat, dog, and rabbit behaviour, what motivates canine aggression and what we can do if an owner reports aggressive behaviour in their dog.
Name:Animal Welfare: The Waiting Area and Consulting Room
Description:This week we are examining what owners can do to help their animal companions better cope in the clinic BEFORE they arrive, what clinic staff can do to help reduce anxiety for the pet once they have entered the building, and we will define the terms ‘trigger stacking’ and ‘building a welfare bank account’. How to improve patient welfare and reduce stress in the waiting room and consulting room will also be explored this week by examining the latest scientific evidence, and we will also discuss the techniques and benefits of low stress handling, how to perform a low stress examination on a cat, dog, and rabbit, and how to handle a cat or dog that is behaving aggressively.
Name:Animal Welfare: Preparation and Theatre
Description:This week we are going to delve into what we can do to make the preparation room, also known as the treatment room, less worrying for our patients. We will discuss pre-emptive, multi-modal analgesia prior to going for surgery, and the difference between light anaesthesia and nociception. We’ll also consider what we can do to make the operating room, and the kennels or recovery area more welfare focussed, and the ways in which we can improve the clinic experience for the long-term inpatient.
Name:Animal Welfare: Post op/Kennels/Care
Description:This week we are talking about pain in rabbits, cats and dogs – how to recognise it, how to score it, how to treat it, and why, physiologically, treating acute pain is so vital. We’ll also study pain pathways, multimodal analgesia, the post operative advice we can give to owners to ensure good welfare continues when they take their animal home, and what owners can do to enrich the lives of their pets if they must be strictly rested for an extended period of time.
Why is the experience of going to the vets a negative one for some animals? Is it the anticipated pain, the way the place smells, the colour of the waiting room, the noises coming from the consulting room, or something else? What can vets, vet nurses, animal carers, and owners do to ensure that the welfare of the animal is supported at every stage of the clinical visit (from transportation, waiting area, examination, operating room, and recovery)? In this course, leading experts in the field
