What will you do if your pet gets sick, injured, or is showing unusual behavior during quarantine or if you’re self-isolating? Some of us may not be able to physically go to our vet’s, or the local animal hospital may be closed.

Luckily, there’s a solution.

Recently, we shared an [article](https://www.aiatranslations.com/post/more-people-are-depending-on-remote-patient-monitoring-and-we-can-help) about the (understandable) surge in popularity of telemedicine platforms, which let people consult with a doctor or specialist without having to take the risk of going to a medical facility. It turns out that there are several telemedicine platforms for animals, as well.

Better yet, a few, including two created by rescue organization Best Friends Animal Society, are currently being offered to a number of veterinary clinics and animal hospitals for free.

If you’ve got a pet at home, ask your vet (or get in touch with a local animal hospital or Humane Society branch) about animal telemedicine platforms available in your area - and if any are currently free of charge.

[Read on](https://healthforanimals.org/resources-and-events/newsletter-repository/26-telemedicine.html?q=86) to learn more about animal telemedicine platforms in general and about Best Friends Animal Society’s admirable [initiative](https://bestfriends.org/blogs/2020/04/14/virtual-lifesaving-unleashing-online-veterinary-consults-era-covid-19-and-beyond).
