Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance is a major veterinary concern, and yet despite widespread literature and policies advocating appropriate antibiotic stewardship in domesticated veterinary medicine, there appears to have been very little progress in zoological medicine, especially companion exotic practice. An example of an antibiotic policy for a zoological medicine service is described, along with general advice on appropriate antibiotic use, including minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)-determined drug dosing. Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global veterinary and public health challenge, which has accelerated by the overuse of antibiotics worldwide. Increased antimicrobial resistance is the cause of severe infections, complica- tions, longer hospital stays and increased mortality. Overprescribing of antibiotics is associated with an increased risk

  • ACZM) Seeks Increased Participation by Veterinarians Working in Wildlife Population Health Management
    American College of Zoological Medicine (ACZM) Seeks Increased Participation by Veterinarians Working in Wildlife Population Health Management An ad hoc committee that includes many of ACZM’s wildlife veterinarians was established in late 2018 by Kay Backues, ACZM President, and charged with providing a comprehensive review of what the College needs to do to be more relevant to veterinarians and organizations focused on the health, management and conservation of free-ranging wildlife. The ad hoc Committee’s report (below) was presented to, and discussed by, ACZM members who attended the annual business meeting held in St. Louis, MO in late September, 2019. The members of the ACZM ad hoc Wildlife Committee are: Sharon Deem, Mark Drew, Kirsten Gilardi, Sonia Hernandez, Dave Jessup, Stephane Lair, Kay Mehren, Dan Mulcahy, Robin Radcliffe, and Jonathan Sleeman, with Doug Whiteside, ACZM Secretary, serving as an ex-officio member. Significant findings in the report include: 1) The mission of the ACZM, which includes emphasis on the “principles of ecology, conservation and veterinary medicine” for “free-ranging wildlife populations,” is not well served without significantly increased wildlife participation. There are a number of ways ACZM could further its mission and the original vision for the College with regard to emphasis on, and inclusion of, wildlife population health management (see full report for details: link ). 2) The College has expanded significantly over the last 2 decades, largely in the General Zoo and Zoological Companion Animal areas, but an increase in members focused on free-ranging wildlife population health management has not occurred. Consequently, there are very few College members focused on free-ranging wildlife.
