OSPCA York Region Shelter Special Advisory
May 14, 2010
Licensed veterinarians are examining the animals on a case by case basis; based on their recommendations, we will be transferring animals to either be treated for the disease, or receive further testing if they are asymptomatic. We are working with accredited agencies, veterinarians, and shelters that have suitable facilities to house the animals while the testing, treatment and medical examinations continue. 91 cats and 23 dogs will be transferred to these facilities. The most important thing for the OSPCA when caring for animals is to follow the advice of our veterinarians. Our vet staff is dedicated to caring for and treating sick animals in the most compassionate way possible. We trust them to make the best medical decisions for their patients.
