Cat bite abscess audit

PDF document (.pdf), 572kb, 16 pages.

In this award winning case example, vets Paul Stanley and Emily Parr from White Lodge Veterinary Surgery, CVS, carried out a prospective audit to review the use of antibiotics, with a focus on antibiotic use in cat bite abscesses. With the introduction of checklists and in-house CPD they were able to treat 86% of their patients successfully without antibiotics without compromising welfare.
