| Use of Antibacterial Chemotherapeutics in the Treatment of Small Mammals. Analysis of Clinical Cases from 2015 to 2024. |
| This article presents an analysis of medical records of patients treated at the Veterinary Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, from 1 October 2015 to 1 October 2024. This period saw an increase in the number of small mammal patients in the Small Mammal Unit. The development of diagnostic methods, including more frequent use of additional diagnostic tests, enables faster accurate diagnosis and shortens treatment duration. This is particularly important in view of the frequent and prolonged overuse of chemotherapeutic agents in small mammal medicine. |
