Dr. Roger and Dr. Karen discuss the veterinarian’s ethical duty to recommend routine parasite and disease screening, as well as appropriate diagnostics when pets present with illness.  Our veterinarian co-hosts discuss reasons why some veterinarians will refrain from making important diagnostic recommendations and some of the consequences that may result when appropriate diagnostics are not recommended.

E-mail comments or questions to be addressed on the air to comments@web-dvm.net.  Listeners whose comments are discussed on the air will receive a personally sign copy of The Man in the White Coat, A Veterinarian’s Tail of Love.
