VET TECH 2015RW - Clinical Studies A

This course is a study of the most important diseases affecting domestic and captive animals, wildlife, fish and crustaceans in aquaculture facilities. Emphasis is given to the recognition, clinical signs, treatment, supportive care and prevention of these conditions. Veterinary technologists work with a range of animals including household pets, horses and other companion animals, farm animals, and wildlife at large or in zoological collections; there are many commonalities between species in the way disease agents and environmental conditions affect tissues and organ systems. By studying animal health the important commonalities and differences can be highlighted and explored to provide further insights into disease and ill health processes in different animal species.
