Zoonoses and Infectious Diseases, Oh My!

[Guest guest]

Hello.

As many of you are aware, the APTA Animal Rehabilitation Special Interest Group

sponsored educational programming and held its annual business meeting (as well

as OTHER meetings) at the APTA Combined Sections Meeting just this past week.

In discussions regarding legislation that exists presently and that is/has been

proposed regarding the regulation of the practice of physical therapy for

animals by physical therapy professionals, the topic of education regarding

zoonoses and infectious diseases was discussed. We thought, " What better way to

focus the topic than to ask veterinarians and veterinary technicians who work in

animal rehabilitation WHAT zoonoses and infectious diseases physical therapists

should be aware of (and educated in) prior to working with horses, dogs, and

cats? " Feel free to reply to this list or to email me directly off list

regarding your thoughts on this topic.

Thanks so much.
