🌍 World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) | 18–24 November 2025 🌍
This year’s theme is “Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future.” 💊🌱
A timely reminder that the choices we make today in how we use antimicrobials directly impact the health of tomorrow.
In veterinary dermatology, we see AMR firsthand - stubborn skin infections, chronic otitis, and cases that stop responding to treatment. That’s why antimicrobial stewardship matters more than ever.🦠
Here’s how we can act now:
🔹 Use antimicrobials only when necessary
🔹 Opt for topical or non-antibiotic treatments where possible
🔹 Educate clients about proper dosing and duration
🔹 Maintain hygiene and infection control protocols
🔹 Advocate for One Health: protecting animals, humans, and the environment
Every prescription is a chance to do better. Let’s make each one count, for our patients and for the future.💙
