How to assess cases and manage the presence of infection whilst avoiding unnecessary use of antimicrobials.
FREE EVENT
Antimicrobial therapy forms an important part of the management of many different skin conditions in companion animals. However, in order to make an informed decision about the appropriate use of drugs it is important first of all to decide if antimicrobials are needed.
In the UK, unlike some European countries, veterinary surgeons still have the freedom to prescribe a wide range of antimicrobial drugs including critically important antibiotics.
However, the privilege to prescribe in this way should be protected by seeking out alternatives to antibiotics wherever possible to prevent the development of multiple resistant organisms which can be transmitted between animals and people.
