This is a very good idea to teach veterinary first aid in a college! The first and very important lesson should include your own safety! Don’t get injured yourself while trying to rescue an animal.
Its really nice that you made this seminar available for pubic !! I think every pet owner needs to have pet first aid kit handy.
a very interesting seminar, my suggestion:give topic about healthy foods that prevent pet becomes ill.
