late reply i know.. when covering this in my L2 portfolio i had to produce a handout on handrearing neonates, which would theoretically be given to a client. this was as we had no pups/kittens/neonates in at the time i needed it (typical!) my assessor had asked for permission to do this and they accepted it..

One of our students is hand rearing a kitten from birth.... It was brought into someones house by their male cat! undamaged.origin unknown .... but we are pretty sure it's premature as it is very slow developing... it's now nearly 5 wks old and has a significant squint! Anyway , at some point we are going to do a professional discussion on care of neonates to cover VetN 5.2.... don't know if this helps... our IV ok'd it.

do you do puppy parties? you could do a quick talk at one of those about a chosen subject,

as mentioned earlier I covered mine with discharge of mum and pups after c section

if you had a pup/kitten in for 1st vacc the vet could then pass them on to you for advice about something like nutrition?

hope you find a way to cover it!!

For care of young animals I got my student to talk to a new owner of a puppy. She included feeding, worming, vaccinations, socialisation, toilet training etc.

For care of neonates we didnt have any suitable cases come in so I made up a scenario of a client wishing to breed from their bitch. Got her to write up a report including advice on mating, pregnancy (feeding etc), whelping and care of the puppies.

For neonates/reproduction, if you have a caesar at some point the student could discuss after care with the client as lots can be covered here. Likewise if you have a client whose animal is pregnant (i.e when seen during nurse clinics etc) this can be discussed here.

Young animals can be anything up to about 6 months really so you can use junior pet clinics or speaking to a client whose young animal has been neutered. The scope seems a little vague for this element but there are lots of ways of getting around it

Hi, when i did my level 2 i classed an adolsecent check as care of young animals- so around 6 months of age. For reproduction of neonates i advised post a caeserian or maybe you could advise an owner when they are undecied whether to spay or breed from their bitch?

Hope this helps!?! ;-)
