Every week, veterinarians from thousands of animal hospitals and practices across the USA bring OpenVet their clinical questions. OpenVet's Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. Natalie Marks, reviews the patterns and identifies what matters to practicing vets.
π§π΅πΆπ ππ²π²πΈ: ππππ‘π ππ ππππ, πππ ππ‘ βππ ππ ππππππ π .
Leptospirosis up 50%, from vets licensed in Iowa, Colorado, Tennessee and Michigan. Parvovirus up 44%, mostly Sun Belt. Heartworm and tick-borne questions fell. And more, including Natalie's read of the data.

The full report goes out every week to veterinarians who are OpenVet members. OpenVet membership is free for licensed veterinarians.

Three years ago today:
1,200 murdered. 251 taken hostage. The deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
Since then, antisemitism hasn't returned. It's exploded. Attacked in the streets. Hunted on campuses. Murdered from Washington to Sydney. For one reason: being Jewish.
October 7th didn't create this hatred, it revealed it.
I'm raising my daughters to be proud Jews.
Loud. Visible. Unapologetic.

Veterinary AI can recommend a treatment and never find out whether the animal got better.
The prescription tells you what was planned. The next visit may tell you what happened. But what if there is no next visit?

ALT A dog leaves a veterinary clinic after treatment. The illustration branches into three possible later events: improved, still unwell, or care elsewhere. The record alone does not establish which occurred. Text: No return visit does not equal recovery.
Before a veterinary AI company says it learns from every case, it should be able to say how many cases have follow-up, what was measured, and which patients disappeared from view.
Otherwise, it may be learning what gets prescribed without knowing what helps.

So the open questions vets have to answer:
What follow-up information would make the biggest difference to your next treatment decision, and what could a busy clinic realistically collect? And are those right *questions* discoverable with data?
That should help decide what veterinary AI builds next.

An AI scribe can influence a diagnosis without ever suggesting one.
It happens earlier, when the conversation becomes the record. Whatever reads that record next inherits decisions about what was said, what mattered, and what could be left out.

ALT Illustrated example: a conversation note says βThe owner didnβt mention vomiting,β leaving a question open. An arrow labeled βMeaning changedβ leads to a summary saying βNo vomiting,β which appears to answer it. Headline: A scribe can change the case without suggesting a diagnosis.
That also creates an opportunity. A new result arrives. The system can revisit an earlier observation, check the original wording, and see whether the previous interpretation still holds.
A summary that discarded the distinction gives it less to work with.
