You will dive deep into common poultry ailments, focusing on effective wound management and metabolic conditions while debunking the efficacy of over-hyped supplements. You will learn to assemble a professional-grade first aid kit centered on high-utility medical supplies rather than forum-fed fads. By the end of this session, you will be equipped to provide stable, evidence-based care and act as a knowledgeable, prepared partner to your avian veterinarian.
