Edited by David Harris and Pam Mosedale, there are three new sections which cover:
The BSAVA also highlights that the law in the UK relating to the use of veterinary medicines will be updated when the VMD completes its review.

The new BSAVA Guide to the Use of Veterinary medicines is freely available to all via the BSAVA Library.
