Description

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we’re tackling a hot topic: how long should dogs with bacterial pneumonia remain on antimicrobials? While traditional recommendations from the 2017 ISCAID (International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases) guidelines advise 4-6 weeks of antimicrobial treatment, we acknowledge that strong veterinary evidence has been lacking. Tune in to find out what this new study, “Clinical course and radiographic resolution of pneumonia in dogs treated with a shorter versus longer course of antimicrobials: a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study” suggests!
