09/03/2020 Companion Animal Population Health in the Face of a Pandemic: What we're talking about in shelter medicine practice 2020
Presented by: Elizabeth Berliner, DVM, DABVP, Director of Shelter Medicine at Cornell University
Outcomes for animals entering shelters in the US have changed dramatically in the last two decades. Increased veterinary care for shelter and community animals, decreased euthanasia of homeless pets, and evolving roles of the shelter in the community have all contributed to improved companion animal welfare. This presentation will review and build on shelter medicine principles to explore current practices being employed by shelter veterinarians, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
