A central theme is the emergence of the profitable 'fur baby' which is being propagated through encouraged anthropomorphism, a limited evidence base, overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and practice corporatisation. Richly accompanied with thoughts on veterinary celebrity, the misrepresentation of veterinary 'success', research using client-owned animals, unregulated treatments and end-of-life decision-making, the book represents a small room full of large elephants. With experienced contributors from around the world, each chapter combines personal stories with evidence-based reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile many of the subjects presented will have undergone some degree of ethical analysis, the book itself does not intend to teach veterinary ethics; instead, its role is to identify key concerns with the profession's current trajectory and to present them with candour, from the perspective of concerned veterinary professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for use within the veterinary curriculum to stimulate undergraduate thought and discussion, this book will also be a valuable reference for practitioners as the veterinary profession comes to terms with life in a post-truth era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46438083461271,"sku":"9781032582603","price":7106.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032582603.webp?v=1769106355","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/veterinary-controversies-and-ethical-dilemmas-provocative-reflections-on-clinical-practice-9781032582603","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
