From acute presentation to chronic therapy, cats with respiratory disease have the potential to present a diagnostic and/or therapeutic challenge.
This learning series offers an in-depth look at a range of upper and lower respiratory tract conditions seen in feline patients. Some present diagnostic conundrums, others can be recurrent or frustratingly refractory to treatment. It will help give you confidence in dealing with dyspneic cats, give you a deeper appreciation of our current knowledge of feline lower airway disease and review the numerous possible causes and treatments for a variety of upper respiratory tract disease in cats. Where appropriate, recent changes to best practice are reviewed and newer treatment options discussed. Case studies are included throughout.
