FREE Practical Guidance Offered for Veterinarians
In recent years, training has become available to help veterinarians make clinical diagnoses of suspected animal neglect, cruelty, maltreatment, abuse, starvation, and fighting. But little has been written to guide the practitioner through problematic practice management issues when such cases are suspected. This new publication helps small and large animal practitioners and their staffs to develop policies, protocols and procedures for effective responses when animal maltreatment is encountered.
