Notice Board

Feline practical:

We have just had a wonderful two day Feline Practical, which was split between hands on experience at Holly Hedge rescue centre followed by a home-visit scenario at New Farm in Clapton in Gordano. On day one Caroline began with a demonstration with two cats and in the afternoon the students worked in pairs in the cat pens, supporting each other as they put theory into practice, with Caroline providing direction where needed. On day two a variety of cats were worked with in a home-setting, which brings with it a different experience. Amazing results were achieved and we have had great feedback from some very inspired students and owners.

Update from Jo Sholl- Evans at New Farm: This morning she found Patchy in the herb garden that we made yesterday, and Biscuit is significantly less violent towards the puppy this morning!


  Chewy: At Holly Hedge


Canine practical:

I know some of you are waiting for feedback on how the dogs are getting on after the Canine Practical at Tilley Farm this month.


Perdie's owner Katherine, reports that she is full of life having purged a substantial amount of mucous on the day of the course. Her tail is also healing from the unidentified sore, this has alternated between applying Dead Sea Mineral Mud and Green Clay.


Meredithe's dogs are also doing well. Bu, is now clearly communicating her needs by drawing attention to the oils when she being troubled by her vulva. She does this by seeking out the Yarrow and lifting her leg for it to be applied, instead of just licking at the area.


Arrow: still waiting to hear back, his owner is making a diary and will let us know the outcome.


Pharmacology class:

We have also had a great weekend of inspirational science with Tom at the Botanic Gardens with people as far away as South Africa attending.

Equine class:

We now look forward to the Equine Practical being held this week at the RSPCA Equine Rehabilitation Centre in Shropshire.

It has been a very full, but inspirational month.


Regional Groups:


Some students have expressed a keen interest to meet up with others in their area. If this applies to you we suggest using the Facebook page to seek each other out:
