As technology filters through our daily lives, and more options for communication become available, telemedicine – remote consultation with health providers – is playing a larger role in both human and animal health care. With isolation, quarantine and social distancing due to COVID-19 becoming the way of life for 2020, telemedicine is not only novel and convenient, it is vital. Veterinarians can provide nutrition and lifestyle advice, behavior advice, medical advice, and in some cases, even referrals and prescription medication, all through telephone or video conferencing.
