An Introduction to Veterinary Medical Ethics: Theory and Cases

One of the most difficult issues that confronts veterinarians and staff today concerns the profession's obligation to the animal and the sometimes conflicting demands from the clients, peers and society. The veterinarian's role has become more complex with new ethical challenges posed by issues such as growing public awareness regarding animal welfare, increasing economic value of companion animals, growth of veterinary specialization, experimentation with alternative and complementary medicine, and concern for pain management and mental well-being of animals. This book offers a readable and approachable introduction to the nature of ethical theory, reasoning and decision-making, and its practical application to veterinary medicine.
