UC Davis researchers study telemedicine for cats
A team of UC Davis researchers recently measured how cats react to in-clinic appointments versus those conducted by webcam to evaluate if telemedicine could increase access to care for an estimated 45.3 million feline-friendly households in the United States.
The hope is that video telemedicine could help cat owners better care for their pets and manage health or behavioral issues. It could also be especially effective in rural areas with little access to veterinary care.
