It's #SundayFunday and the animals are enjoying some exciting enrichment! The shell of a radiated tortoise has nerve endings and cells, which means they can feel when they are being touched. Since they love scratches and pets, their amazing keepers built this apparatus so these cuties can get all the scratches they want 🐢❤️ #GetInLine

I LOVE a good Case Study, and that is exactly what this months Hydro Training video gives - the story behind a case that will drop your jaw.

Are you ready for tonight's BONUS webinar for June??

Dr Tanya Grantham from South Africa will be addressing some of the following points:
🐾What is rear limb awareness?
🐾Why is it important in the young dog?
🐾How can awareness be developed in puppies?

👉This presentation focuses on using proprioceptive input in puppies and juvenile dogs to enhance awareness of the hind limbs. This, in turn, strengthens the legs and improves mobility. The end result is a more balanced young adult who has a reduced risk of injury and is prepared for adventure.👈

Who has access to this webinar: Small Animal Members and SAAPRA members!
