“…A telemedicine system is a tool that will not advance veterinary practice unless the veterinarians take action to do so; therefore, veterinary professionals should be prepared to grow along with technology and do not be afraid ( Papageorges et al , 2001a ; Richards, 2019 ). The differences between systems are the price and services offered by the system ( Papageorges and Hebert, 2001a ). A telemedicine system is made up of a computer, imaging software, text software, communication software, a modem or Ethernet card, and one or more X-ray image capture equipment to digitize images ( Papageorges and Hebert, 2001b ).…”

“…In addition, telemedicine can help in veterinary continuing professional development by providing ongoing education ( Papageorges and Tilley, 2001 ). Videoconferencing enables veterinarians to virtually include specialists in their daily or weekly rounds and offers one-on-one training sessions on the topic and time they want as well as providing continuous education through regular interaction with specialists via teleconsults ( Papageorges et al , 2001a ). The previously mentioned VetAfrica-Ethiopia application can be a valuable means of assisting less experienced animal health professionals in disease diagnosis and consequently helping in treatment ( Beyene et al , 2017 ).…”

“…A video camera or a still digital camera with macro settings for close-up views of skin lesions is the only tool needed for teledermatology. Taking representative photographs of the lesion(s), adding the clinical details, and sending the case to a dermatologist are the steps required ( Papageorges et al , 2001a ).…”

Telehealth is a rapidly developing field of veterinary medicine, particularly during and after the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The world and animal owners' expectations are changing to the point where veterinary practice will need to adapt due to information technology advancements. This narrative review describes the status, benefits, technology basics, applications, limitations and legal aspects of veterinary telemedicine over the globe. Veterinary telemedicine is a service alongside other veterinary services that meets client needs, delivers quality medicine and improves animal welfare. The most frequently utilized veterinary telemedicine applications include; teleradiology, telesonography, teledentistry, telecardiology, telerehabilitation, anesthesia teleconsultation, telehospice and telepalliative care, telecytology, tele-endoscpy, teledermatology, tele-ophthalmology, tele-behavior therapy as well as veterinary education and training. Veterinary telemedicine has a bright near future and will impact veterinary medicine and animal welfare due to its numerous advantages. These advantages include; its low cost, availability, involvement in veterinary health care, online payment, and effectiveness in many clinical situations like follow-up after an in-person examination, inspection of surgical sites or mobility. Nevertheless, veterinary telemedicine should receive more attention by veterinary professional regulatory bodies in all countries. Moreover, it is necessary to conduct more studies to evaluate how telehealth is beginning to improve veterinary care, particularly for underserved regions.

Veterinary surgeons have a long tradition of consulting one another about problem cases and many have unwittingly practised telemedicine when discussing cases by telephone or by sending laboratory reports by telefax. Specific veterinary telemedicine applications have been in use since the early 1980s, but little research has been undertaken in this field. The Pubmed and CAB International databases were searched for the following Boolean logic-linked keywords; veterinary AND telemedicine, veterinary AND telecare, animal AND telemedicine, animal AND telecare and veterinary AND e-mail and an additional search was made of the worldwide web, using Google Scholar. This returned 25 papers which were reviewed. Of these only 2 report research. Sixteen papers had no references and 1 author was associated with 13 papers. Several themes emerge in the papers reviewed. These include remarks about the use of telemedicine, the benefits that can and are derived from the use of telemedicine, areas of practice in which telemedicine is being used, ethical and legal issues around the practice of telemedicine, image standards required for telemedicine, the equipment that is required for the practice of telemedicine, advice on ways in which digital images can be obtained and educational aspects of telemedicine. These are discussed. Veterinary practice has lagged behind its human counterpart in producing research on the validity and efficacy of telemedicine. This is an important field which requires further research.
