Researchers will investigate how antibiotics were used to treat bushfire-affected wildlife to help inform antibiotic-resistance risks and improve treatment outcomes.
Assessing Antibiotic Use Following Colic Surgery
Researchers will conduct a small clinical trial to investigate any benefits of extending antibiotic administration beyond 24 hours in horses undergoing surgery for colic.
Determining Optimal Antibiotic Dosing for Septic Foals
Researchers will determine the optimal intravenous and intra-articular dosing protocol for amikacin, an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in foals.
Evaluating 3-Day Antibiotic Treatment for Urinary Tract Infections
Researchers will conduct a clinical trial to see if three days of the antibiotic amoxicillin is as effective as seven days for the treatment of urinary tract infections in dogs.
