- * A study conducted on Swedish IVC Evidensia veterinary practices showed that 4.4% of dental patients (dogs, cats, rabbits) received antibiotics, demonstrating prudent prescribing practices among veterinarians.
- * The most frequently prescribed antibiotics were ampicillin, amoxicillin, and clindamycin, indicating that Swedish veterinarians are largely compliant with veterinary dental guidelines, setting a potential benchmark for global practices.
