Sneezing, coughing, clear or colored discharge from the eyes or nose - an upper respiratory infection! Upper respiratory infections (URIs) are very common in kittens, especially in kittens living in high-density populations in animal shelters, community cat colonies or breeding catteries. Learn the causes and treatments available for getting your feline friends feeling better again in our article, Nothing to Sneeze at: Upper Respiratory Infections in Kittens.

We received this email message regarding American Animal Hospital Association accreditation:

“ Sharing good news – unsure if you have received documentation of this yet.

We are about to renew our AAHA accreditation and were sent the following update as a new standard:

“SX44 Feline Declawing (Onychectomy): Practices should not perform or refer clients for declaw procedures when done in a nontherapeutic capacity. This procedure should be avoided unless there is a medical necessity. Alternatives may include nail caps, frequent nail trimming, and behavior modification. Examples of therapeutic use include tumor excision, traumatic injury, and tissue necrosis.”

Hooray!

Practice Manager”

It might sound better than it is at first reading…unfortunately, though, this is a VOLUNTARY standard. We will continue to report. If you are interested in learning more, you may want to check out City the Kitty’s page.
