Ask a Question

Are you a sheltering professional? Do you have a question concerning Shelter Medicine? If so please use the form below, and submit your question. This area of the site is demonstrates yet another collaboration between the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program and the University of Florida's Maddie's Shelter Medicine Program.

Please understand that we cannot offer treatment advice nor provide answers to specific medical questions unless you are a veterinarian working in or providing assistance to an animal shelter. We encourage you to see your local veterinarian or a specialist on a professional consultation basis to get answers to your specific medical questions.


Due to the overwhelming volume of questions we receive we cannot guarantee that all questions submitted to us will be answered individually. To date we have published over 500 answers to questions ranging from, "which disinfectant should we use," to "what vaccination schedule do we recommend," and everything in between. We encourage you to search through our FAQ section, our information sheets, and our on-line recorded lectures for an answer to your particular question.

Please allow 1-2 weeks to receive a reply to your question from a Shelter Medicine Resident located at UC Davis or at Florida!
