This course will also include rehabilitation of wildlife and how to work with wildlife & animals that underwent trauma.

This course will take you from the anatomy of amputations, reason for amputations and caring for amputated limbs on animals and wildlife to the process of designing a prosthesis for an amputated animal. Then, you will learn about the stump and how to take a cast of the stump. After that, you will learn about plasterwork and sculpturing of a stump of the animal. Then, finally you will see the manufacturing process of the prosthesis and you will experience, step by step, how an prosthesis is being manufactured and finished.
