ADVANCED FELINE MEDICINE

Undergraduate

This elective modular course builds on fundamental concepts covered in the core curriculum but specifically addresses diseases that occur disproportionately more often, or exclusively, in domestic cats. The course will delve more deeply into common feline health issues such as bite wound abscesses, polysystemic infectious diseases, and other disorders introduced in the core curriculum. Successful completion of the course will prepare students for management of feline-specific diseases and result in greater understanding of species-based differences involving diseases that affect both cats and other species of animals. PREREQUISITE: Third year standing in the DVM program Five-week module with 3 hours of lecture per week
