Putting It All Together

Let’s return to where we started with the respiratory disease outbreak in the dogs at Gatorland Animal Services. Dr. Wright reached out to the UF Shelter Medicine Team for assistance with diagnosis and implementation of the disease outbreak management strategy. As part of the lessons learned, she created flowcharts for responses to outbreaks caused by the Top 5 contagious diseases. Her next step is to write step-by-step protocols using these flowcharts as a guide.
