Did you know?

❓While most equine vets are prescribing antimicrobials for dental and reproduction procedures classed as low and medium importance by the Australian Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on AMR (ASHTAG), there was some reported prescription of high-importance antimicrobials such as vancomycin and imipenem?

❓ Footrot in goats is of lower severity and can be more difficult to diagnose than in sheep?

❓ A veterinary modified Osseointegrated Prosthetic Limb was shown to be successful in dogs with distal hindlimb amputations?
