"A veterinarian will no longer be permitted to obtain or hold a compounded medicine in stock for emergency use, to have on hand for an animal whose health and welfare may depend on it." This is contrary to the ability of providing appropriate medication in emergency and after hour situations, for the welfare and treatment of patients that we provide care, 24hours a day 7 days a week .

The ability to handle anxious or fractious animals, both in hospital and on admission to the clinic, is extremely important for the safety of all veterinary and nursing staff. It is also in the best interests of animal welfare to enable prompt medical or surgical attention without further stressing the patient.

Its vital that we have ongoing access to these medications to be able to use them in critical cases where time is off the essence. It is for the welfare of the animals under our care.

We rely on many compounded medicines to treat animals that otherwise might not be able to be treated. Making access to these more difficult or impossible will substantially impact animal welfare and also human safety.

I'm a veterinarian who sees a great number of patients with fear of vets, having compounded trazodone to give prior to vet visits increases safety for pets and vets.

Whilst not wishing to denigrate those behind the proposed change, I would ask have the proposed changes been adequately investigated with respect to their negative impact on animal welfare - it would appear not! As a veterinarian with over 40 years experience, I have seen various policies come and go - hopefully this one will be in the go category, whereby common sense prevails

Having access to these medications in a timely manner allows us to best treat our patients. Not having these medications on the shelf would be very detrimental.
