In this veterinary nurse/technician training video, feline practitioner Dr. Mark Cousins, who practiced for decades at a cat-only clinic in New Orleans, provides an overview of feline heartworm disease, including an overview of the pathophysiology, clinical signs and diagnosis of this complex disease. CVT Paola Dominguez-Lopez concludes the video with a case study that illustrates how technicians can discuss and educate clients about this heartworm disease with cat owners and discusses educational resources that can be used in practice.
