I support the regulations as written with one exception. It is very rare, but due to unique features of feline metabolism and pain relief challenges, there are times when chronic use of buprenorphine is indicated. Under item E. 2. , I think there should be provision for extending buprenorphine use beyond 7 days without a re-examination. As written, it could be interpreted that an examination would be required every 7 days.
