I agree that this regulation needs to be amended to allow IV catheter placement by non-licensed, properly trained hospital team members. IV catheter placmeent is a very common need in our profession, and in a busy practice, pets could die waiting on appropriate IV fluid support or medication waiting for the Doctor to place the catheter. This is all complicated by the lack of licensed veterinary technicians in this state.. I recommend supporting this petition to allow the veterinarian and their staff to properly treat our patients.
