A diagnostic procedure, treatment regime or preventative program may be outlined by the attending veterinarian. Follow-up treatments may be the responsibility of the facility manager or animal care personnel as appropriate. The IACP must be notified of sick animals even if the investigator is the attending veterinarian. If an animal dies, a necropsy may be required unless a specific cause of death is known. The UNL Veterinary Diagnostic Center or other laboratories will be utilized for assistance in diagnosis as needed.
Diagnostic fees are the responsibility of the department supporting the project.
However, the IACP will assist with the fees whenever appropriate.
