I do not think it is convenient, it is better to seek a second opinion to make sure that we are not missing something and that they receive adequate treatment.
According to the AVMA, the veterinarian is not allowed to place prescriptions on his own pet. It is something that makes total sense because that is the case with humans.
I understand that no, but it really is a problem sometimes when we are under emergency circumstances, we have a veterinary clinic where we help abandoned animals, and obviously, the ownership of the pet passes to my name as their vet so I have many pets.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, you should not prescribe your own pet if you are a veterinarian, it goes against your oath.
Yes, a vet can write prescriptions for their own pets. This is because a vet is licensed to prescribe medications and treatments for animals.
For sure! This is known as self-prescribing and is generally permitted as long as the vet follows the applicable laws and regulations.
Yes, I've done it before. This is because they are familiar with the pet's medical history and can make sure that the prescription is appropriate for the pet's health.
As veterinarians, just like doctors, we cannot prescribe our pets, just as in the case of humans, pets are like our relatives.
We should not be prohibited by the association that is in charge of our permission as veterinarians. We can't even operate on our own pets either.
