Cleaning and Disinfection in Foster Homes - 16min

Housing pets in foster homes lowers their risk of getting sick, because it reduces stress and exposure to infectious disease. Regardless of where animals are living, or whether they are currently sick, cleaning and disinfection help prevent the spread of disease. Cleaning and disinfection is especially important when a foster pet has an infectious disease that is difficult to eradicate from the environment. Foster caregivers should  consider housing options and supplies that allow for easy cleaning and disinfection, and should know what to clean and disinfect, when to clean and disinfect, and how to do so.

Diarrhea in Kittens and Puppies - 5min

Thank you for joining us to learn about diarrhea in kittens and puppies aged 0-8 weeks!  Persistent young kitten diarrhea is one of most challenging problems that foster programs face. While most cases of kitten diarrhea resolve within a week’s time, others don’t. It is not uncommon for a veterinarian to run multiple diagnostic tests without finding a cause, or to try different treatments without resolution of the diarrhea.

Sometimes the solution ends up being to let a kitten’s diarrhea run its course, while continuing to provide any needed treatment and supportive care. This persistent diarrhea scenario does not seem to happen very often with puppies. Normally, the cause of a puppy’s diarrhea is more easily identified, and it clears up quickly with the appropriate treatment.

The learning goals for this class are for foster caregivers to:

  • Understand the difference between soft poop and diarrhea in young kittens and puppies
  • Learn about the common causes of kitten and puppy diarrhea
  •  Recognize when veterinary attention is needed for a kitten or puppy who has diarrhea
  • Be able to help prevent and address kitten or puppy diarrhea
