Lorazepam in cats with urethral obstruction with Professor Kelly Tart
Om denne podcast
Stay up to date with the latest small animal veterinary research.
In VetLit minis, ECC specialist Simon Cook and the VetLit team sit down with authors of recent studies for informal conversations about new research and how it can be applied in practice.
Combining published evidence with the authors’ clinical experience, we look for insights that extend beyond the paper - helping busy clinicians make sense of the evidence and apply it in everyday cases.
Produced by VetLit.org and hosted by Simon Cook, Chris Scudder, Abbe Crawford, Matteo Rossanese, and Kieran Borgeat. Join us as we work to make veterinary literature more accessible - and more accessed.
