With the national veterinary registration in full swing in the states of Victoria, Tasmania and NSW, and with my primary registration in WA, you can now access The Fish Vet’s services in most parts of Australia. With modern technology on hand, you are no longer restricted to using fish vets located in the eastern states. You can now access the vet from the west.
Does this mean that you can get scripts for veterinary medicines or get drugs sent in the mail every time you need some Flagyl, Baytril or other antibiotics for your fishes?
Under the veterinary regulations,
a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) is necessary. What does this mean for your situation? It means that I must have personally seen your fish and/or visited your premises at least once in the past year before I can give a written veterinary prescription or order, for distributing and/or administrating medicines and, aquatic disease vaccines and bacterins.
A great way of utilising Dr Loh’s services if you are in remote locations include histology slide processing and histopathology assessments.
