Thank you. That is very helpful.
Dr. Weese, you talked about prescribing guidelines, and we have the same in medicine. One of the problems we have is the dissemination of these guidelines. Being in emergency, I'm in a purely hospital-based practice. We have direct conversations all the time with our ID specialists.
Online, there are the latest guidelines and databases, which are good, but particularly with antibiotics, when we're told, “Here's the latest literature for this infection; give this antibiotic”, there's a little star saying, “Be aware of antibiotic resistance in your community. This may change your patterns.”
We have trouble, when working in an emergency room surrounded by specialists, keeping up with that. Physicians in the community, in their doctors' offices, have an even harder time. Is there a strategy in the veterinary profession to try to get the latest evidence-based guidelines and local resistance patterns?
