What is the requirement for veterinarians who lose their license due to disciplinary action regarding client notification?

When a veterinarian loses their license due to disciplinary action, there is an obligation to notify their clients within a specific timeframe. The correct timeframe is established at 30 days. This requirement serves to ensure transparency and maintain trust between the veterinarian and their clients, allowing clients to make informed decisions about the care and treatment of their animals. By providing notification within this designated period, it ensures that clients are aware of the status of their veterinarian's ability to practice and can seek alternative care if necessary. This policy underscores the importance of accountability and communication in veterinary practice, helping to protect both the animals and the clients from potential harm associated with unlicensed practice.
