The Use of Systemic Antibiotics for Prophylaxis in Veterinary Ophthalmic Surgery—A Practitioner Survey of Current Protocols

This survey demonstrated that a large proportion of veterinary practitioners use PSA in ophthalmic surgeries with geographical and environmental variations. Further studies to assess the incidence of surgical site infections in correlation with PSA administration are warranted, alongside the imperative for establishing comprehensive guidelines for PSA use in veterinary ophthalmic surgery.
