Please be aware that the authoritative record of Maddie’s InstituteSM programming is the audio.  \n[Beginning of Audio]  \nIntroduction: Dr. Elizabeth Berliner is the Janet L. Swanson Director of Shelter  \nMedicine at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. She holds a BA in English literature from Union College in Schenectady, and an MA in English from Binghamton University. In 2003, she earned her DVM from Cornell and is boarded in canine and feline practice with the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. She serves on the ASV Board of Directors in the organizing committee for the new shelter medicine specialty.  \nAt Cornell, she directs the internship in shelter medicine, trains veterinarians in both classroom and shelter settings, and consults with animal shelters regarding best practices. Her interests include shelter level consultations, diagnosis management, prevention of infectious diseases, and innovative outreach programs promoting accessible veterinary care, humane behaviors, and the human animal bonds.  \nDr. Berliner also acts as a seasonal lead veterinarian for the HSVMA's Rural Area Veterinary Services program, which facilitates mobile spay neuter programs, spay neuter and preventive medicine clinics in rural areas of the U. S. to communities without access to veterinarian care.  \n[Applause] .  \nDr. Berliner: Thank you. So thank you for all being here at the last talk on the last day  \nof the conference. I expected to have about four people in the room so this is pretty exciting. Even more exciting because I consider FIP to be kind of the trifecta of craptastic diseases in shelter medicine. So we used to talk about that in private practice, you get a bad disease with a nice animal anda nice owner, and that is the trifecta of craptastic. Right.  \nIn a shelter scenario, we kind of have that with FIP, a really bad disease, and I’m going to talk a lot about that – a bad disease, usually really nice kittens, right. And then we have people that are really invested in those kittens because a lot of times they’ve been in foster care, so they’ve been hanging out with us for a while and people are bonded to them, or they are kittens that have gone into adoption and people have bonded with them. So it is the trifecta of craptastic diseases and we’re going to wrap up the conference with it, so I appreciate you for sticking with me.  \nI chose this picture realizing it was going to be poor quality, but it was oneof the earliest pictures I could find ofFIP because it is a relatively new disease out there, and I’ll talk a little bit about why that might be with some history. I’m going to do some review of clinical signs and diagnostics and a little on treatment, and then I’m going to talk about kind of the implications for shelter, and then some of the new research that’s out there and what may be coming down the pike.  \nCaveat: I’m not a researcher. So I talk to researchers. I am a clinician and I’m in the shelters. And so my goal here was to kind of look at what’s out there in the research now and be able to report to you what we know and what we don’t know, and where we might be headed. This is also a new talk for me, so like Dr. DiGangi pointed out, this is the first time I’m really talking about this in this kind of audience and so I’m completely open to questions, feedback, and all of that. I’d really like to hear from you to know what else you need to know or what could be more useful for you.  \nSo a little bit of review about the virus without getting too detailed.  \nAgain, I didn’t want you to nod offor think you were back in virology, your second year of vet school. So it comes from a coronavirus.
