Abstract:  When peer-reviewed scientific information is not available, veterinarians and pharmacists often turn to their colleagues seeking evidence based upon clinical experience in order to devise a treatment plan for a patient. Compounding pharmacists who provide care and compounds for veterinary patients have vast clinical experience of great educational value. Using speci! c guidelines, compounding pharmacists can prepare useful case reports and/or case series by proactively collecting clinical data, carefully selecting a case for presentation, and collating the details into a compelling story with a clear message that can survive editorial triage and contribute to the advancement of veterinary medical care.
