Veterinary Telemedicine during the pandemic SARS-CoV-2

Telehealth, spurred by the rise of digital communications technologies now, presents both opportunities and challenges for healthcare providers, including veterinarians and their staff. Telemedicine will in time become an integral part of the practice of certain aspects of veterinary medicine [1]. Understanding key definitions is important as you decide whether and how to implement telemedicine in your veterinary practice [2]. In veterinary practice, a Digital Veterinary Diagnostic teleconsultancy service has been established [1], we have some experiences in the last years in Chile, Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay and Venezuela, a market that grows every year. The current situation related to the SARS-CoV-2 associated pandemic represents a great opportunity to develop telehealth in veterinary medicine.
