Designed for students who enjoyed the basic animal veterinary science course, this class will explore animal anatomy and veterinary care through the study of text, completion of projects, and work in the animal lab. Students will gain hands-on experience in how to feed, care for, house, and check the health of all types of animals. We will focus on FIsh, Poultry, and Equine in this course. We will also focus on Reproduction and General First Aid for pets. This course includes field trips which can include the Henry Vilas Zoo, Dane County Humane Society, and Midwest Horse Fair.
