BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Shelter Medicine : Principles of Health and Welfare in a Multi-animal Environment

Shelter medicine encompasses vital aspects of physical and psychological health and welfare, infectious disease management, epidemiology, diagnostic testing and population control. The challenge of being a good shelter medicine clinician is balancing the health and welfare needs of the individual as well as that of the larger.

The aim of this manual is to introduce the reader to a new way of thinking when approaching cases in the shelter environment; each chapter has a number of Quick Reference Guides that provide specific practical information on a number of subjects.

The manual is divided into three main sections:

- Principles of shelter medicine and population health: it covers the principles of shelter medicine, describing how to approach problems and be an effective decision maker within the shelter context
- Prevention, management and control of disease in the shelter medicine environment: it covers the prevention, management and control of infectious diseases and the management of behaviour in the shelter environment
- Working with people in the shelter environment: it deals with the understanding of the objectives, policies and values of the individual organization that runs the shelter.
