Small furry behaviour

Welcome to Small Furry Behaviour!

A topic sometimes overlooked when it comes to clinical animal behaviour and behavioural medicine education - this talk will shine a spotlight on all things small furries. How can we build our confidence with seeing these species if they are not often referred? What approach should we follow with these cases? We will take a look at species-specific needs, a logical approach to the small furry clinical behavioural presentation and the toolkit we can delve into for these cases.
