A vet clinic in northern Tasmania fears proposed changes to after-hours animal care services will lead to clinics being "swamped" during daytime hours, with stress being added to vets who remain on call out of hours.
The Veterinary Board of Tasmania has proposed new standards that change the requirement of vets to provide an arrangement for after-hours or emergency care from a "standard of veterinary practice" to being "encouraged" to share the load with other practices.
