Submitting compelling case reports for drug therapy in veterinary patients

When peer reviewed scientific information is not available, veterinarians and pharmacists often turn to their colleagues seeking evidence based upon clinical experience in order to devise a treatment plan for a patient. Compounding pharmacists who provide care and compounds for veterinary patients have vast clinical experience of great educational value. Using specific guidelines, compounding pharmacists can prepare useful case reports and/or case series by proactively collecting clinical data, carefully selecting a case for presentation, and collating the details into a compelling story with a clear message that can survive editorial triage and contribute to the advancement of veterinary medical care.
