Free CPD* - Feline Shelter Medicine

PfizerCats Protection (CP) and Pfizer Animal Health are running feline shelter medicine events to be carried out across the UK.

These all-day CPD events are designed to provide veterinary surgeons with the opportunity to enhance their knowledge in this relatively new area, covering commonly encountered subjects associated with ‘rescue cats’, such as, disease, behaviour, and preventative medicine.
