Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED. THIS COULD IMPACT THE WAY WE RAISE ANIMALS AND PROVIDE FOOD. BELOW IS A LINK TO RESPOND TO BODY LOOKING AT RULE CHANGES... SPREAD WORD AND LINK TO OTHERS! Subject: New Proposed Vet Ruling The AVMA is proposing a change to their definition of a veterinary practice, and what is acceptable. While one interpretation is that they are making sure that vets practice sound customer contact, and not rely on electronic conversations, ie. email, internet and phone conversations, it can also be interpreted as guarding against breeders and farmers consulting with others as to suggested practices, medicines, herbs etc. To read more about this, and give feedback to the AVMA, please visit the following web site. <<http://www.avma.org/education/mvpa/default.asp.>> Feedback must be sent by March 1 to the Dr. named at the site, and a copy of the feedback should also be sent to <<healers@...>> as they are spearheading this conversation. This ruling could also effect the availability of herbal medicines, as it requires that diagnoses, treatment and management recommendation need to be made by a licensed vet or vet tech. Please check this out, and let the AVMA know your opinion on this matter. Pat Hames & Axle Farm SmallHolders Alliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
