Abstract
Mycobacterial diseases are being more frequently diagnosed in companion animals in first opinion practice in the UK. These infections can be challenging both to diagnose and manage; this and a previous article aim to give an overview of the relevant background and epidemiology, management and prognosis for companion animal mycobacteriosis (CAM). This second article explores the treatment options available to clinicians, as well as some of the considerations required before treatment is started.
