Madam: — In late October of last year I was asked by the New Zealand Veterinary Association for my submission on the proposed addition to the “Guide to Professional Conduct” VIII: 25 Unorthodox Medicine and Methods. I understand I was one of 15 individuals or groups sought to provide constructive views from a cross-section of the profession. My submission was requested by 1st December 1986. No reason for the need for this addition was given. To my knowledge, no such provision appears in other veterinary Ethics Guides around the world. Indeed, the R.C. V.S. trusts the integrity of its members to “make a professional judgement on the appropriateness of whichever treatment they decide upon”.
