In episode 83 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we’re talking all things CIRDC - canine infectious respiratory disease complex - or to use its old name, “kennel cough”.

We see these patients super commonly - but it’s not always a case of ‘just’ a bit of kennel cough. That name undersells how complex, contagious (and at times serious) this disease can be.

In this episode, we’re going to look at what CIRDC actually is, the different pathogens that can cause it, and the signs we see in patients with it - as well as the nursing care these patients need, and the skills we can use when delivering that care.

So if you’re ready to give even better care to these patients, this episode is for you.
