Medical care for street dogs and cats is not much different to the care you will provide to your pet with the exception that street dogs and cats often have much more severe forms of illnesses. One of the reasons of course is that animals who live in the streets usually do not have any prior vaccination and on the other hand even small infections usually turn into serious or even chronic problems. Once a dog or cat is infected with a virus it is all too easy for the virus to infect a whole population of animals. Therefore vaccination is one of the main issues.

But there are of course many other issues an animal lover or pet owner must know when rescuing an animal or taking care of an adopted dog or cat. The following links can provide you with more detailed information altough it is always recommended to consult your veterinarian.
