Bonnie Cheung’s article addresses commonly used treatments for dogs with atopic skin disease.
Bonnie is a Lucy Cavendish College 4th-year vet student at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge.
Her article, titled ‘In dogs with atopic skin disease, is lokivetmab more effective than oclacitinib in reducing the score of a recognised scoring system?’, was published on the 22nd of June in Veterinary Evidence, an online, open access, peer-reviewed journal by RCVS Knowledge. The journal publishes content relating to evidence-based veterinary medicine and its application in veterinary practice to enhance the quality of care provided to patients.
Bonnie wrote the article during her first year of clinical school. She comments, “The review compares two common immunomodulatory drugs used in veterinary practice for treating canine atopic dermatitis, a condition that causes dogs to have itchy and inflamed skin. There are several official scoring systems which are used by clinicians and owners to score the severity of lesions in dogs, and so I was interested to know whether one drug worked better than the other in treating canine atopic dermatitis.”
Lucy Veterinary Medicine (Clinical) DoS, Dr Matt Meek, comments, “This is a really useful and relevant piece of literature that addresses evidence regarding drugs we use every day in practice.”
