Send me a question or story!

I asked and you delivered!!!! I wanted to know what general practitioners wish dermatologists knew before they referred a case. You gave me lots of great points!

A recurring theme in my responses... write it down! If an owner declines a diagnostic, medication, referral, flea prevention, etc. make sure you write it in the record. If it is there, then we will know the recommendation was made. We all want to be on the same team with these chronic derm cases! Check out this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast.
