Those poor lymphocytic plasmacytic stomatitis cats. What can you do?
Our Dr. Fraser Hale, DVM, AVDC has written the following great resource on how to diagnose and manage lymphocytic plasmacytic stomatitis (LPS). Who can you call when you need an ambulatory ECG monitoring service?
The VIN community has compiled a list of companies and institutions that provide Ambulatory ECG services. These organizations will generally provide a Holter unit, and then analyze and report the data to you.
Welcome to Veterinary News Network, the newest folder participant in the Vet Industry message board!
We're excited by the opportunities to share knowledge and support that Veterinary News Network, will bring to the VIN community. Please take a moment to welcome our newest addition to the Vet Industry message board. Remember to post your questions about the company's services. (While you're in the industry folders, check out all of the other companies that are willing and able to answer your product questions!) A Note From Paul About Industry on VIN:
As a result of the recent rapid rise in the number of industry folders on VIN, a few have written to ask if VIN has changed its position regarding independence from industry. Rest assured that nothing has changed. VIN remains committed to the VIN Policies on Commercialism. We all benefit from increased communication and access between colleagues in practice, academia, and industry. Facilitating this communication is our goal. We are pleased that more of our colleagues in industry are recognizing this and joining the discussion.
