  • 1.  Cat Illness and Disease Resource

    Posted 08-10-2025 11:23 AM

    Hi all, 

    I was wondering if their was a handbook/resource that reviews the essential information for most viruses, diseases, and parasites. Cats specifically! For example, it might cover basics of the disease, symptoms, potential testing, and action steps. 

    Thanks, 

    Bree

    Hi Bree,

    We have a powerpoint that we go over with all new hires about shelter medicine in general. I can send you the slides if you're interested!

    There are a ton of books out there that have all that information. Just go to barnes and nobels online or in person there are plenty of options to choose from. you can also go to thriftbooks.com for a lower price. I have a bunch som are home remedy bookd some are vet care books but all are helpful. Also I find taking notes at vet appointments helps with other animals later down the road.
