Calling in the animal drug detectives—helping vets help beluga whales, goats and all creatures big and small

Wait 5 sec.

In my work as a veterinary pharmacologist, I never know exactly what I'm going to get when I open my email. It could be a request from a veterinarian asking my team to determine the concentration of a drug to treat the shell of a turtle infected with fungal disease. Or it could be an inquiry from a researcher wondering whether we can help them figure out the dose of antacid they should give goats and sheep with ulcers.
