Zoo Keepers and Vets 3

m

In the photo you see us practicing with our patients !. All the material is real but there is nothing that hurts us like needles ... We also went to see the veterinary clinic of the Zoo so that even if the animals are well cared for sometimes they get sick or they have to be helped to get rid of the parasites or to get vaccinated ...

Here they are lucky to have 3 vets and different assistants who are like nurses and help at all times to keep the animals in good health.

Apart from veterinarians we have been learning how to take care of wild animals (mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians) and domestic animals (those from the farm o police that rides horses), as you can imagine not everyone eats the same and you can approach the same way to a crocodile or a lion than to a horse or a goat.

And not only are they cleaned and fed, they are also trained for when the vet has to draw blood ... and they are given enrichment programs (different types of toys depending on the skills of each species and taking into account age ...).

You see, everything is more complicated and takes more work than it seems but we are delighted with the work done !.
