ABSTRACT

As the use of therapeutic lasers and light-emitting devices has

steadily increased in small-animal veterinary medicine over the last

decade, so have the number of manufacturers entering the market.

Little has been taught in veterinary colleges regarding light therapy,

and most veterinarians have gained their knowledge through

the manufacturer’s representatives, literature, and seminars. This

presents a challenge to talk with one another about refining

protocols of light therapy, yet this is what we must do.
