When the Nevada Vet Board receives a complaint about a licensee, it will notify them by mail and investigate the matter. As part of the investigation, the Vet Board may also issue subpoenas, request a search warrant from a magistrate, ask the licensee for relevant medical records, and/or schedule an examination of the animal(s) in question. If the Vet Board reasonably believes that the vet or vet tech in the complaint may be incompetent, the Board can order them to submit to a mental or physical exam. The Vet Board must receive the results within 60 days of the order, and it can suspend the license of anyone who fails to submit to the exam. Once the investigation is complete, Board will determine whether there are grounds to impose disciplinary action (discussed below) or enter into a settlement agreement with the vet or vet tech.
