Diagnostics

This quick reference of our therapeutic products is categorized by disorder, as compared to product name and product mode of action. This makes it easy to use in a clinical setting. Products are listed by number, meaning the first product listed is considered the most likely to be effective for the disorder in question, and so forth. However, each animal may have unique problems that would require a different therapeutic product be selected.
