Maximizing Topical Therapy in Companion Animal Practice

***Click Here to Register***

With dermatologic conditions making up a large volume of the caseload in companion animal medicine and with antimicrobial resistance on the rise, topical therapies need to play a bigger role in dermatologic therapy. This presentation will discuss why topical therapies are helpful and how cytology helps guide topical product choice. The most common active ingredients in topical products for companion animals will be highlighted including their mechanism of action and suggested use. By having a complete understanding of active ingredients, veterinarians will be better equipped to make a topical product selection.  Compliance strategies will be discussed to help ensure that what a veterinarian prescribes actually gets used.
