ABOUT ANIMAL LOVE PET FIRST AID
I am Dr Sophie Bell, business owner and Senior Vet at Animal Love in Salisbury. Having worked as a vet for 10 years, and having a special interest in Emergency and Critical Care, I have come to realise if we focus on our pets preventative and well-being needs they become happier, and less likely to need medical attention.
With a genuine passion for animals I started Animal Love to help owners to help their pet.
We provide one of the only vet taught pet first-aid courses in the UK
The classroom courses are 4 hours long, include a student booklet and a professional certificate to celebrate what you have achieved. We run courses from various locations all around the country, as well as ZOOM virtual online classroom courses. You can see our booking page for information and up coming events. The courses are suitable for both pet owners and those with pet related businesses. You will gain considerable knowledge learning how to administer first aid to your pet, how to deal with emergencies, common injuries, signs and symptoms of illness, health checks and much much more. All taught to you by a veterinary surgeon.
We also provide two online courses, the Canine Health & First Aid Course and the Feline Health Well-Being & First Aid Course. Both courses are produced and presented by myself, vet Dr Sophie Bell.
Once signed up to these courses you can log in and out as many times as you want meaning you can complete them in your own time and, as access is for 6 months, there is no rush.
Videos, demonstrations and quizzes which you can pause and rewind if you need to.
The Canine course is 10 hours CPD accredited, the feline 13 hours.

Mycotoxins
Keep your animals away from that mould!
Mycotoxins are produced by fungi found on items that are going mouldy.
Mouldy cheese, nuts, bread, hay, compost and silage are some of the places mycotoxins can be found. There are many others.
This puts animals at risk of mycotoxicosis. Horses, cattle small mammals, dogs and cats are just a few.
Signs of mycotoxicosis include:
**Body/muscle tremors
**Staggering/appearing uncoordinated when walking
**Vomiting (not horses)
**Diarrhoea
**Increased body temperature so usually above 39.2C
**Left untreated the animal could die
How to help prevent it mycotoxicosis
** Always check hay and silage when fed to horses, cattle and others that eat it
**Remove uneaten hay, especially when outside
** Keep a tight lid on bins to prevent your dog or wild animals raiding it as it’s a potential source of mould - one of the biggest reasons we see this toxicity
** Use a muzzle on dogs who scavenge a lot of you are in a high risk area, such as a city where people may drop food on the floor that can decay
** fence off your compost heap to prevent your dogs sniffing around and potentially ingesting fungal spores
**Double check all foods and treats before eating them. If in doubt about their freshness, throw them away
If this happens use all the tips I teach you on how to manage a seizure, KEEP AN EYE ON THE BODY TEMPERATURE!! And get immediate vet help...
