The headlines have moved on from H5N1, but the virus hasn't, and small animal veterinarians have good reason to stay informed. In this episode of the Partner Podcast, Dr. Scott Weese, one of veterinary medicine's most trusted voices in infectious disease, covers the current clinical realities of H5N1, including which patients should raise your index of suspicion, what personal protective equipment precautions actually matter, and how to counsel clients about raw food diets and exposure risk.
