What should a vet do when a client can't pay for their animal's treatment? Or when asked their opinion on the killing of wildlife for disease control? Or when observing an animal welfare problem whilst off duty?Ethical problems are an everyday part of life for veterinarians but it can be difficult to combine personal values with professional conduct. Veterinary Ethics presents a range of ethical scenarios that veterinarians and other allied animal health professionals may face in practice. The scenarios discussed are not only exceptional cases with potentially significant consequences, but often less dramatic everyday situations.The responses to these ethical problems are from practising veterinarians and acknowledged world experts in animal welfare and ethics. The advice given is thorough and detailed, covering different eventualities, the ethical knots and dilemmas, the personal feelings of those involved as well as objective recommendations on ethical decision making and, where relevant, guidance from veterinary governing bodies and the law. The advice is framed in the form of veterinary life in the real world, not necessarily an ideal world.As well as practical guidance the book takes a step back and explores the different philosophical arguments and standpoints and the resultant solutions and problems of each approach, examining the background and relationship between different philosophical schools of thought, ethics and veterinary care. The book strives to present decision making in response to ethical problems as transparently as possible, employing a range of ethical frameworks.The book also challenges the reader about their own decision making in given situations, what factors to consider and how they would achieve certain outcomes.…

Real-world ethical dilemmas vets actually face – and how to think through them with confidence.
By Siobhan Mullan and Anne Quain, with a foreword by Sean Wensley, Veterinary Ethics: Navigating Tough Cases tackles the ethical questions that arise every day in practice – not just the dramatic, headline cases. What should a vet do when a client can't pay? When asked to weigh in on wildlife culling? When witnessing an animal welfare issue off duty? This book equips you to combine personal values with professional conduct, grounded in real veterinary life rather than an idealised one.
What you'll gain:
- Real scenarios, real responses – answers from practising veterinarians and acknowledged world experts in animal welfare and ethics
- Practical, thorough guidance – covering the emotional, ethical, legal, and regulatory dimensions of each case
- Multiple ethical frameworks – clear exploration of different philosophical schools of thought applied to veterinary care
- A challenge to your own thinking – structured to test how you would decide, and why
- A genuinely different approach – moving beyond theory into transparent, everyday decision-making
A fascinating, page-turning read that leaves one pondering things for days after. – Veterinary Record
