Overview

Clinical veterinary research is the systematic investigation of disease, diagnosis, and treatment in animal patients, aimed at improving the care delivered in veterinary practice. It applies the methods of clinical study, including case-control and pilot designs, observational analyses, and outcome assessment, to identify risk factors, evaluate diagnostic approaches, and test therapeutic and surgical interventions in the species under care. Research in this field includes oncology in companion animals, such as phylogenetic analysis in dogs with osteosarcoma, characterization of canine periosteal osteosarcoma, and the pathology of mammary tumors, as well as the identification of risk factors for acute conditions like gastric dilatation-volvulus. It also encompasses infectious disease, including antifungal characterization of dermatophytes and antimicrobial resistance in avian pathogens, and perioperative and anesthetic research, exemplified by the comparison of cardiorespiratory parameters in dogs undergoing laparoscopic versus open procedures. Performance and applied physiology, such as the evaluation of flight performance in racing pigeons, further illustrate its clinical breadth. Sub-areas include veterinary oncology and pathology, infectious-disease and antimicrobial research, anesthesia and perioperative medicine, and clinical epidemiology and risk-factor analysis. By generating evidence directly from animal patients, clinical veterinary research informs diagnosis, refines treatment, and improves outcomes across companion, production, and other animal populations.
