CONSENSUS STATEMENT
Consensus Statements of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) provide the veterinary community with up-to-date infor-
mation on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of clinically important animal diseases. The ACVIM Board of Regents oversees selection
of relevant topics, identification of panel members with the expertise to draft the statements, and other aspects of assuring the integrity of the
process. The statements are derived from evidence-based medicine whenever possible and the panel offers interpretive comments when such
evidence is inadequate or contradictory. A draft is prepared by the panel, followed by solicitation of input by the ACVIM membership which may
be incorporated into the statement. It is then submitted to the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, where it is edited prior to publication. The
authors are solely responsible for the content of the statements.
