Veterinary doctor Claire writes about the impacts of the coronavirus crisis on her industry and ultimately, animals
I think as this crisis progresses we will run low on some supplies, particularly as some of the drugs we use are also used in human medicine.
It's tough because we all took an oath to ensure the health and welfare of animals, but our oath includes a commitment to the public as well, and right now that part is more important.A lot of vets would like to do more - I'm told that in Italy vets are being used in human hospitals, and we are ready here to help our colleagues in human medicine however we can.
And if you're thinking of getting a puppy or kitten right now, I would advise you put serious thought into it. They may not be able to get all their vaccines done at the right time and socialisation will be very difficult.
