It is impossible to provide necropsy guidelines for every infectious disease encountered in shelter animals—therefore a few characteristic diseases were selected. It is hoped that the information in this chapter will enable the shelter veterinarian to work more closely with pathologists and microbiologists to develop good shelter surveillance programs. This chapter should aid veterinarians in collecting samples so that the pathologist and the diagnostic laboratory can analyze and diagnose problems more accurately. Necropsy has multiple potential roles in shelter animal health: it is a method to detect disease, to establish the cause of death, to assess diagnostic suitability in a single animal, and as a source of knowledge to apply to future cases.
