Plague in Dogs & Cats with Dr. Davis

In this episode, Radford Davis, DVM, MPH, DACVPM, returns to talk with host Beckie Mossor, RVT, about his article on one of the most famous infections ever—the plague. Dr. Davis reviews how Yersinia pestis cycles in wildlife populations and where it is most commonly found in the United States. He also gives concrete answers on when plague should be on the differential list—and when to contact the state health department. Responses for exposed healthcare personnel and other household pets are also discussed. Resources discussed in this episode:https://www.cliniciansbrief.com/article/plague-cats-dogs-public-health-concernhttps://www.cdc.gov/plague/index.htmlLocal State Health DepartmentContact us:[email protected] to find us:Cliniciansbrief.com/podcastsFacebook.com/clinciansbriefTwitter: @cliniciansbriefInstagram: @clinicians.briefThe Team:Beckie Mossor, RVT - HostAlexis Ussery - Producer & Digital Content CoordinatorRandall Stupka - Podcast Production & Sound EditingMichelle Munkres - Senior Director of Content
