This manual from the Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, Maddie's ® Shelter Medicine Program, was developed to enhance knowledge
about infection control measures in the shelter environment, and to aid veterinary professionals in the development and implementation of infection control protocols.
Those
measures include: rigorous processes for candidate selection; maintaining and cleaning tubs and immersion pools; following
infection control procedures; monitoring pregnant women at appropriate intervals while immersed; and moving women out of the tubs if there are any concerns
about the mother or baby.
