Lisa Penny, RPh, FSVHP, director of pharmacy at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals, says many veterinarians may not be aware of the new seven-day opioid prescribing law, which affects the way they treat patients.
This law says the first time a veterinarian sees a patient for an acute injury, they can only prescribe up to seven days of opioid medication. Veterinarians may also be unaware of their state-specific recordkeeping requirements, which aren't taught very well in veterinary school.
