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


Listen Later

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.
