Veterinary telemedicine guarantees greater accessibility to veterinary treatment, helps animal shelters, and lessens patient anxiety and tension.
FREMONT, CA: Veterinarians use telemedicine when diagnosing an illness or recommending treatment based on a phone or video consultation rather than a physical examination of a dog or cat. Telemedicine played a crucial role in mitigating the transmission of the COVID-19 epidemic and guaranteeing the availability of healthcare services. During the pandemic, the application of veterinary telemedicine has shown its ability to greatly enhance animal welfare in a variety of geographical and socioeconomic contexts.
Significant reasons for backing veterinary telemedicine are noted below:
Lessens stress and fear in patients: Dogs and cats may find clinical veterinarian examinations distressing. When dogs and cats are taken from their owners for medical examinations in a clinical setting, the separation frequently causes even more stress.
For elderly or terminally ill animal patients, telemedicine-assisted palliative, end-of-life, or hospice care may also reduce clinic visits, anxiety, and animal suffering.
