Incorporate into your clinical practice the most advanced knowledge and techniques in the approach to Feline Infectious Diseases with this high-quality program"

This Postgraduate diploma is a complete compilation of the knowledge that the veterinarian needs to intervene with total appropriateness in cases of infectious diseases in cats.  

Enterobacteriaceae are one of the causes of gastrointestinal diseases in cats that include zoonotic bacteria of potential risk to the patient. To a lesser degree, we can find those produced by some species of algae, generating chronic conditions that affect the digestive system. 

Viral diseases in the feline species are often difficult for the small animal veterinarian to deal with. Some diseases present typical clinical signs, while others have different manifestations and present pictures similar to other pathologies or even neoplasms. 

Due to the particular characteristics of the cat, we find certain differences in approach with respect to the cat, such as specific bacteria of the feline species and typical bacterial and fungal clinical pictures. Among the parasites affecting the feline species, the clinic is always more familiar with those most frequently diagnosed and most prevalent. However, climate change, displacements and new diagnostic techniques are favoring the emergence of many diseases in areas where previously there were no reports, especially those diseases caused by external parasites and, in the case of vector-borne diseases, transmitted by some of those aforementioned parasites. 

Each and every area of knowledge needed regarding infectious diseases in cats, clearly, comprehensively and effectively presented"
