Maine Law Protects Pets in Domestic Abuse Cases

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to ban the sale of certain rodenticides to the general public, a move which could help prevent one of the most frequent causes of pet poisoning.   In addition to banning the most toxic anticoagulant rodenticides (brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difethialone and difenacoum), the agency also plans to stop the sale of most loose bait and pellet-form rodenticides to cut down on accidental poisonings of children and pets.

California veterinarians are getting a mixed message from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regarding controlled drugs, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). The AVMA says that veterinarians in the Sacramento area were recently contacted by the regional DEA office and asked to confirm that their DEA license was associated with a residence. At that time, veterinarians were also reminded that federal regulations prohibited them from carrying controlled drugs out of the location associated with their DEA registration. The AVMA says that according to the national DEA office, there has not been a change in the DEA’s interpretation or enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act. The review of registration applications in California appears to be the result of a regional office confirming that the applicant’s principal place of business was indeed a residential address, the AVMA said. Prohibiting veterinary practices from being allowed to transport controlled substances out of their DEA registration location would make it difficult for veterinarians to appropriately practice medicine.
