Veterinary telemedicine uses video calls, texts, pictures, and documents to remotely monitor and treat animals – through a screen, a veterinarian can provide advice and care instead of having to be physically present at a clinic or visit a farm. This way of working is becoming more common, especially for vets who work with farm animals. A telemedicine session can help keep things organized, record data, communicate with clients, and save time and money. In this episode, Dr. Gil Patterson discusses the use of veterinary telemedicine and technology with focus on helping vets be more efficient, organized, and happy in their routines.
