• How to recognize and manage all types of injuries - bleeding, bone fractures, contusions, scrapes, punctures, lacerations, strains and sprains
• How to recognize and manage medical conditions/potential emergencies  - seizures, diabetes, heat exhaustion, hypothermia, bloat, shock, poisoning, parasites; breathing emergencies such as choking, and how to perform artificial respiration and CPR
• How to properly restrain and stabilize an injured pet until qualified veterinary care can be obtained

You will practice bandaging, and other techniques on stuffed toy animals, as well as on live animals
