WEBINAR INFORMATION:
During this Practitioners Panel, each participant will discuss a different aspect of treating and resolving Feline Respiratory issues, then conduct a group question and answer session.
Dr. Lankenau's Topic: Gu Syndrome is an ancient medical concept which is a valid clinical approach for chronic super-infections by funguses, parasites, viruses, and other microbes that are often hard to detect. Often cats with chronic feline respiratory diseases respond poorly to well prescribed herbal formulas. Incorporating Gu herbal strategies can be very helpful in these chronic cases.
Dr. Fougere's Topic: The use of Western Herbs to treat feline respiratory issues.
Dr. Sherebrin's Topic: The use of Chinese formulas and essential oils to treat feline respiratory issues.

VBMA Endorses Quality Herbal Products
VBMA recognizes that the herbal product industry has faced quality control and regulatory challenges, and we recommend supporting those companies attempting to self regulate in a meaningful way. Companies that manufacture herbal products marketed for humans should be members of the American Herbal Products Association, an industry organization which explores issues, interacts with regulators, and establishes policy. Veterinary product companies should be members of the National Animal Supplement Council, an organization which develops policies and procedures on adverse event reporting and quality control.
