Infectious Disease Management in Animal Shelters 1st Edition

Best book I have found about infectious disease management. Contains a section for each disease (Feline Calcivirus, Feline Herpes virus) and contains valuable information about sanitation. For example the use of quaternary ammonium compounds versus the use of bleach or potassium peroxymonosulfate (trifectant and virkon). And it also talks about how to wash hands the right way, how to handle animals, fomite transmission and difference between enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.

Veterinarians working with animal shelters quickly begin to realize that maintaining the physical and psychological health of shelter animals can be extremely challenging. This book covers the basic principles of disease management in shelters with emphasis on preventative measures.I am not aware of any other book that addresses these issues with such depth.Along with "Shelter Medicine for Veterinarians and Staff" I think this text is essential for veterinarians working with shelters in any capacity.

I have had this book stolen from me at least three times now...most likely by vets who have worked here in the past. I guess that is a pretty good endorsement:) expensive, yet good!

This book is such a wealth of knowledge- truly indispensable. It will easily pay for itself. Love, love, love it!
