Event Navigation

If you are among the many shelters who climb “kitten mountain” every year, and see neonatal/pediatric puppies as well, this is the webinar for you!

We all know how difficult this period of care can be for shelters and their foster families. This interactive webinar will give participants actionable steps to help improve the care provided to neonatal/infant puppies and kittens in their shelter’s care. After this webinar, attendees will be able to:

Describe the developmental milestones for puppies and kittens from birth to 8 weeks and recognize what is “normal”
Identify the most common causes of neonatal mortality and steps that can be taken to minimize the risk
Create foster care protocols that optimize live outcomes for neonatal puppies and kittens

Shelter medicine staff and anyone in the shelter who works with fosters or recruits fosters will benefit from this session.

This session is part of the Shelter Medicine series, a collaboration between the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.
