Modification and expansion of existing body condition scoring scales for rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) improves inter‐rater reliability when used by experienced raters

Assessing veterinary students’ attitudes towards pain in cattle before and after final‐year clinical training

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cattle only show subtle signs of pain, making pain assessment difficult. The approach to pain and the use of analgesics depend on the treating person's experience and opinions. Methods Bavarian veterinary students were asked to answer two identical questionnaires before and after 12 weeks of clinical training in a ruminant clinic. A

Abstract Background Large language models (LLMs) are emerging as decision‐support tools in human medicine; however, their evaluation in veterinary anaesthesiology remains limited. Methods We retrospectively analysed 225 anonymised feline and canine cases (American Society of Anaesthesiologists [ASA] classifications 1‒5) from Atatürk University ...
