Speaker: Lily Parkin RVN BSc (hons) ISFMCertFN CertNCS(RVN Cons) DipNCS(RVNCons)

Lily graduated from Middlesex University in 2020, since then she completed a Certificate in Feline Nursing. In addition to this, she also has a Certificate and Diploma in Nurse Consulting. Her main passion in nursing though is feline nursing, she is very enthusiastic about being an advocate for felines, teaching veterinary professionals in depth about feline behaviour, as they are often misunderstood. Which can definitely do them an in justice, in terms of treatment and prevention.

Lecture Synopsis:

In this presentation we will be exploring the roots of feline behaviour, and how this closely underpins many cases of FIC in cats. By the end of this presentation, you will be able to fully understand why felines behave as they do, and how this may lead to stress if these behaviours cannot be assisted. This will make you confident in assisting in the treatment plan for FIC.

Learning Points:

  1.  You will be able to understand the natural feelings and behaviours felines have to carry out in order to live happy, fulfilled lives.
  2. You will be able to apply feline behaviour knowledge onto case scenarios, assisting with a solution.
  3. You will be able to see how you can implement feline behaviour advise in order to tackle FIC
