Vetstream adds diagnostic algorithm category to point-of-care resources

Vetstream has announced the addition of a new diagnostics algorithm category to its peer-reviewed online clinical resources Canis, Felis and Lapis.

These algorithms are been designed to help veterinary subscribers investigate, diagnose and treat a variety of conditions in dogs, cats and rabbits, with information that is accessible from any connected device.

Canis users will gain access to 18 diagnostic algorithms provided by Clinician's Brief, covering issues such as canine urinary incontinence, dyspnea and vomiting, while 13 more algorithms from Clinician's Brief have been added to Felis, including topics like feline cutaneous mass and feline weight loss.

Meanwhile, the Lapis content covers topics including polydipsia/polyuria, seizures and loss, and has been written and reviewed by animal health professionals. More than 180 additional diagnostic algorithms will be added to Canis, Felis and Lapis over the next six to nine months.

Dr Mark Johnston, managing director of Vetstream, said: "With the addition of diagnostic algorithms, prepared by experts in their field, we are now providing a tool for the investigation, diagnosis and management of a variety of conditions."

The company also offers the related service Equis, which provides information on horses.
