The OAHN Equine network created a new infographic on equine herpesvirus-1 abortion. The infographic was prepared to help horse owners learn about EHV-1 and how to minimize risk for their horses. |

In this episode, OAHN Companion Animal network co-lead Dr. Maureen Anderson is joined by Dr. Doug DeBoer, Professor of Dermatology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology, to discuss management and treatment of antimicrobial resistant infections, and how to help avoid increasing resistance issues from canine staphylococcal pyoderma. |
