In this episode of the Paws & Effect Podcast, Dr Carra welcomes Dr Dawn Robbie, a small animal practitioner from Scotland, to chat about cat flu and chronic snuffles. Not only is Dr Dawn a seasoned vet with years of experience in small animal practice, but she also brings infectious enthusiasm and a genuine love for feline medicine to the podcast.

Dr Dawn unpacks everything you need to know about cat flu, including:

• The tell-tale signs and symptoms of cat flu all owners should watch for.
• Why vaccination is *absolutely vital*, even for indoor cats.
• How cat flu can become a lifelong problem and potentially lead to chronic sniffles or even pneumonia.
• Proven tips for preventing the spread of cat flu at home and in catteries.
• What you should do if your cat stops eating or becomes lethargic.
• How vets manage snuffly cats — from home-care hacks to hospital treatments.

Plus, hear some hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from Dr Dawn’s veterinary journey, and learn why good communication and understanding your cat’s needs can make all the difference.
