Small animal first aid / health care courses ?

Hi there

Having shared my life with bunnies for the last 15 and the rest years, I've set up a boarding service for rabbits and guinea pigs. I would really love to find a course that would give me a bit more detail about small animal health. I'm assuming that I'm already doing most of it through caring for my own bunnies, but you always assume there is more to learn and I would like to be able to say that I have a qualification, or have undertaken a course in small animal first aid and health. I don't want to go to the extremes of training as a vet nurse as I want to specialise with rabbits and guinea pigs and that would be another career change!

Can anyone recommend a course?

Thanks

Donna

Hi :-h

Congratualtions on your boarding service :D

I can't suggest any course in particular, however I am boarding my buns at The Bunnery in staffordshire..... I did notice that on their other website one of the members Claire teaches Animal Care (she started out as a veterinary nurse)..... Perhaps she can point you in the right direction .... here's the link to their site....

Good luck :)
