Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue - Photos
I just took the Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue Training offered up at UPENN's School of Veterinary Medicine, New Bolton campus, and wanted to share the photos I took to get strangers and friends interested in taking the course, and those who participated images to help jog their memories, and share with their friends. These images are in no way meant to be the course! Half of the time we spent in the classroom. There is a manuel/handout which has recently been developed into a book. Keep checking the TLAER about when and where it will be available.
I have put all the photos to a gallery, where you can see thumbnails! YEAH! Including the Animal Decon Day. That was the Decontamination course - which in summary was, this is such a new field all we know is dish soap (like Dawn) and water!

The course was just large animals, most commonly horses, but also cattle, lamas, etc. etc.
We did have a few military people there, but mostly CART members. Certainly the government is much more enlightened since Katrina. The new law allowing people to evacuate with their pets, and the formation of County and State Animal Rescue Teams, and a place for all sorts of animal organizations fitting into the Incident Command System. NIMS (National Incident Management System) does have a place for Small Animal Rescue Strike Teams...

I see no groups training Small Animal Rescue Teams. There seems to be a void out there!
