66 | How to nurse your cat 'flu patients like a pro: the vet nurse's guide to feline respiratory disease complex

In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're talking about a really common, commonly misunderstood and often frustrating disease - feline respiratory disease complex, aka FRDC or cat 'flu. When I think about those 'flu cases, I think back to sweating in PPE in a makeshift isolation room in my earlier nursing days, spending countless hours cleaning nasal discharge, creating steam baths outside of kennel doors, and tempting tiny kittens to eat. This is a disease that is MADE for nursing - there is so much we can do to support these patients. And as always, giving that great care starts with understanding what 'flu is, and how we manage it - which is exactly what's waiting for you inside this episode. --- Resources mentioned in this episode: 📲 WSAVA global vaccination guidelines 📲 AAFP feline vaccination guidelines 📲 Lysine administration for FHV1 --- More free ways to learn with me: 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode 🖥️ Grab the free webinar, podcast AND resource library access 📲 Follow me on Instagram 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and its content is provided only for information.
