What can I ask a veterinary clinical assistant about a case?

You can ask Vetinuity anything you would ask a colleague about a case, and the answer comes back as differentials, diagnostics and treatment options with the journal citation attached, while the veterinarian makes every decision.

Questions to ask about a case can concern differentials, drug doses from the literature or the references behind an option. These examples show how to ask, without answering the cases. Vetinuity differentials and diagnostics develop from the exam conversation, and the veterinarian can also ask about a consideration directly.
