I have over ten years of experience working with animals, in particular horses. I volunteered with Blaikiewell Animal Sanctuary for several years, and my duties included the catching, grooming, tacking up, feeding and leading out of horses and ponies of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I am also a confident rider. My work with cats includes brushing, feeding and entertaining, as well as administering medicines such as antibiotics and worming tablets. I own three rabbits, and I am very well educated on the daily care of these sensitive animals. I am aware of the dangers of gut stasis and the current RHD2 outbreak, and able to identify symptoms of these should they present themselves.
