168. Owner can't medicate pet.
Show Notes

You look at a new patient's history and see "owner can't give oral medications at home". But what if all the injectables didn't work? Do we just assume we can't help this pet?

What if we asked the owner more in-depth questions? How have you tried giving it? What was going on with the pet when you tried oral medications? Can you focus on topical therapy for the infection? Based on a recent case I had, I wanted to present a real life solution on this week's episode of the podcast.
