Welcome to another episode of "Chats with the Chatfields," where we explore the latest topics in veterinary medicine and animal care. In this episode, we'll be discussing feline upper respiratory infection (URI), a common and highly contagious condition that affects cats of all ages.

Join our expert guest, Dr. Danette Schweers, and our hosts, Dr. Jen the vet and Dr. Jason Chatfield, as we dive into the world of feline URI. We'll discuss the common causes and symptoms of this disease, including sneezing, coughing, runny nose and eyes, and fever. We'll also explore the best methods for prevention and treatment, including vaccinations, antibiotics, and supportive care.

We'll address the emotional toll that feline URI can take on both cats and their owners, and provide tips for managing the stress and discomfort associated with this condition.

If you're a seasoned cat owner or just interested in learning more about feline health, this episode is for you.
