Another great podcast with Dr. Mike Lappin. We talk about cat snot and what further diagnostics you should do to work up these patients. Did you know that the purrpodcast is the first podcast on Mike's phone? We discuss feline diarrhea in 15 minutes and why you should not eat cat or antelope poop. As long as the cat stool is normal the risk to the owner is minimal, but you still should not eat it. Dr. Susan claims she is broad but shallow and gives her expert knowledge about animals that have square poop.

This podcast is the second episode of our trilogy about coronaviruses in cats. We have the fantastic Dr. Severine Tasker talk to us about the most common coronavirus in the cat, ie, the one that causes FIP. But what she says may have consequences for the virus in other species. Cats with FIP do generally not catch a lot of attention except now, as there are specific therapies that did work in cats with coronavirus that currently are used in people. She explains the disease clearly and scientifically and has been an excellent guest!
