Review
"This is a book that can help you better understand the fundamental nature of wellness and disease (and how to support the former and prevent or control the latter). I've placed it on my ‘essentials' bookshelf." (The Vin Store, March 02, 2010)"This is an important addition to the literature, helping to remedy the general lack of comprehensive references devoted to the specialty of shelter medicine and providing a must-have resource for all those involved in the care of sheltered dogs and cats." (Doody's, December 2009)
“Every shelter needs a copy of this information on hand for reference.” (Book News, September 2009)

This review is from: Infectious Disease Management in Animal Shelters (Paperback)
Lila Miller and Kate Hurley's INFECTIOUS DISEASE MANAGEMENT IN ANIMAL SHELTERS provides a specific, college-level guide to preventing, managing and treating disease outbreaks in shelters. From basic principles of disease control and management to practical information on population health risks, this survey is a 'must' for any shelter-specific worker or libraries catering to them. Pharmacology and canine and feline common health issues alike are covered.

This review is from: Infectious Disease Management in Animal Shelters (Paperback)
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.
