In most veterinary practices, the concept of Infection Control is usually limited to the efforts by staff to keep one animal from infecting another. Similarly, “isolation” is often nothing more than one animal physically separated from the rest of the population. Although these actions are surely steps that have a place, there is much more to the issue of isolation and infection control. At Heart of Harlem we often care for pets who are sick with contagious diseases in our isolation room. The Doctor has a written protocol in place to help prevent the spread of infectious disease between our patients. There are a lot of steps that we implement daily in order to keep your pets safe and healthy.
