EJCAP Winter 2013: Responsible use of antibiotics

(19.12.2013) Should I use antibiotics in this dog? And if yes, how do I choose the most suitable one? What can I do to reduce the risk of MRSA? These and other topics were discussed at the FECAVA Symposium on Antimicrobial resistance during the Dublin EuroCongress, and now feature in the 2013 Winter issue of EJCAP.

Check your knowledge on antimicrobial resistance, learn about best practices and download the new free FECAVA posters!


And did you know that ferrets kept indoors have a higher risk of developing hyperadrenocorticism? Or that around two in three elderly cats suffer from osteoarthritis? And if you're interested in dentistry, you may enjoy the case report of correction of a malocclusion, described in step-by-step slideshow.

Open access

Great news! During the FECAVA Council meeting in October, members decided unanimously to offer open access to EJCAP. This means it is free for all veterinary practitioners, students and nurses in Europe and beyond!

Free interactive CPD – at your fingertips

EJCAP – accessible on tablets – also contains news reports on the first EU Pet Welfare Conference, on the new VetCEE programme and other FECAVA business in Europe. And also: FVE calls for pet suitability lists and the WSAVA has a new president. By the way, check out the new FECAVA president (and her dog)!
