2 Call to order, Davyd Pelsue, DVM at 11:08 AM on October 13, 2016 Davyd Pelsue, DVM gave a brief introduction, explained the purpose of the workshop, and the structure of how the regulatory process will proceed. 1. Public Comment Zach Rhodes: - Read from an article that is attached and asked that we consider the information contained therein Jenee Rhodes: - Spoke regarding her experience as a horse trainer - Owners of horses should be able to make the choice when it comes to the individuals treating their horses - Most horse owners are not uninformed when it comes to the care of their animals - Competition will raise the skill levels of those individuals that are available to care for horses 2. (a) Opened workshop on proposed regulation RO110-16: Section 1: No Comment Section 2: Zach Rhodes: - Stated that he was against the requirement that equine dental providers (EDPs) be limited to the use of non-motorized tools - Has seen more damage done with hand floats and those tools have led to bigger issues arising in the patients mouth - The training that EDPs obtain is mostly instruction using motorized tools - Motorized tools are more precise and cause less damage and strain to the horse Boyd Spratling, DVM: - Agreed with Mr. Rhodes statement regarding the use of motorized tools Zach Rhodes: - In some circumstances, EDPs should be allowed to perform extractions - They do learn extractions in school Kristi Ruby, DVM: - Expressed concerns about the delineation between what procedures would constitute extractions, dentistry, and what would be considered oral surgery - Needs to be regulated so that people are informed and that there are clear 2

3 boundaries Section 3: No Comment Section 4: No Comment J.J. Goicoechea, DVM: - Asked a question regarding the maintenance of medical records and what would constitute the EDP records (e.g. SOAP notes) - Explained that the medical records would include the scope of the EDP. The supervising veterinarian would ensure the general health of the horse by establishing a VCPR - The supervising veterinarian would establish a valid VCPR being established and doing an evaluation within 12 hours of sedation and provide medical records for examinations Zach Rhodes: - Stated that in Arizona a horse gets a health check by a supervising veterinarian who then dispenses the sedative to the owner who then administers the sedation with no veterinarian on premises Dr. Ruby: - Stated that sedation by an owner still might result in a reaction that might then be a liability for the supervising veterinarian - Asked how the liability for the procedures would be structured, because the EDP is performing dental procedures and the veterinarian is responsible for the health check and sedation - Clarified that the intent is to make sure that both parties are liable for their own medicine but also to ensure that there is direct supervision of a veterinarian for sedation, establishing the VCPR, and establishing the health of the animal Zach Rhodes: - Stated that direct supervision is expensive and that the vet being on premise is not necessary; for instance, in Arizona the level of supervision is indirect - Stated that direct supervision is just that the veterinarian is on site and can communicate with the EDP Dr. Ruby: - Has concerns regarding the liability and questions how the board would assign liability since there are some grey areas in the case of a complaint - She would just like it noted that it isn't clear where the line is drawn regarding where the liability is for the veterinarian if something goes 3

4 wrong Louis Ling: - Addressed Dr. Ruby's question stating that the case would be reviewed individually and the Board would do their best to understand the individual circumstances of that case Zach Rhodes: - How do the EDPs avoid unfair judgement by veterinarians in cases of complaints due to maybe not understanding what the procedure is or is not accomplishing - Suggested that the Board could consider the International Associatio n of Equine Dentistry to provide investigations into complaints Debbie Machen: - In cases when it is needed, there are outside evaluations by experts in specific fields that can be done when cases require them to be done Louis Ling: - Clarified the difference between a certifying body and the Board when it comes to reviewing complaints and in cases of disciplinary action Zach Rhodes: - Asked what the mental competency provision was for in the regulations Louis Ling: - Answered that the Board uses that provision to investigate, like all our other licensees, whether or not a licensee is competent mentally and or if they have substance abuse issues Section 7: No Comment Section 8: No Comment Closed workshop on proposed regulation R at 11:48AM 2 (b) Opened workshop on proposed regulation RO73-16 at 11: 49AM Dr. Goicoechea: - Asked about the section that discussed compounding and what that means in terms of intent - Expressed that he has questions himself - The intent is that when a pet leaves a facility we want to be able to cover the time frame before an owner can obtain the prescription from a compounding pharmacy Peggy Purner, DVM: 4

5 - A compounding pharmacy that she uses takes longer than the 5 days, recommends extending window - Dr. Goicoechea: - Echoed that if the amount is not sufficient that they may have to wait more than 2 weeks for some medications and the window should be increased - Explained that this law goes somewhat contrary to the recommendations of the FDA and must be limited and should exist such that it is a benefit to the health of the animal Patricia Handal, DVM - Some compounding pharmacies can take more than 2 weeks for some prescriptions and recommended extending the window Dr. Pelsue - Explained that we cannot write regulations based on particular pharmacies because some of the manufacturers wouldn't be able to meet the time frame Dave Habler, DVM: - Asked if the ordered amount of the compounded could be for as much as the owner would need for the treatment of the animal - Explained that the regulations are for compounded medications that are compounded at the hospital for use before an owner can get the drug from a compounding pharmacy would only apply to what is compounded at the facility Louis Ling: - Explained that we would need to make the language more clear - Nevada sees the need for the legislation to benefit the public Dr. Purner: - Asked if she dispenses for 5 days and it isn't enough, is she able to dispense another 5 - Answered yes, as long as it is needed, but no more than 5 days at a time Jon Pennell, DVM: - Requested that the Board consider longer than 5 days Michelle Peacock, DVM: - Suggested 7 days for the window of dispensing the compounded medications Dennis Wilson, DVM: 5

6 - Asked the Board to consider longer in the case of holidays or days that offices might be closed - Asked to incorporate language stating that the compounded item be able to be dispensed to an authorized agent in addition to being able to dispense to owners Dr. Haebler: - Requested that the Board consider adding Veterinary Assistants (VAs) to all administration levels of compounded drugs or otherwise so that they may administer drugs Dr. Ruby: - Asked that perhaps the Board add direct supervision for VAs administering medications if that would help alleviate concerns Section 2: No Comment Section 3: No Comment Section 4: Dr. Wilson: - Would like to see the licensee be required to hold at least 10% total of veterinarians or they must be a majority ownership in order to be considered a veterinarian owned facility Section 5: No comment Section 6: No Comment Section 7: No Comment Section 8: No Comment Section 9: No Comment Section 10: Louis Ling: - The intent is so that when the larger bottles that are being broken down into smaller amounts are thrown away, we can still track the meds that came from the source container once it is gone Section 17: Dr. Wilson: - Recommends that the vaccination clinics have medical grade oxygen. 6

7 Dr. Ailes: - Echoed Dr. Wilson's recommendation Dr. Spratling: - Asked if this involved horses as well Debbie Machen: - Clarified that no, it only applies to dogs, cats, and ferrets Section 18: No Comment Section 19: No Comment Section 20: Dr. Coady: - Asked if this meant that groomers could scrape tartar - Clarified that this would only be in a licensed facility by a licensed Veterinarian, Veterinary Technician, or Veterinary Technician in Training - Would want to call it something other than 'cosmetic dentistry' so that it better describes the regulation and the procedure of non-anesthetic dentals Dr. Habler: - Asked if we could allow non-anesthetic dentals only after a true dental has been performed - Mandating something like that would be problematic with the FTC and could be considered a Sherman Act violation. We would want to be careful with that kind of requirement Michelle Agren: - Asked how these procedures would be monitored - Answered that it would fall into the scope of how we monitor anything going on in a veterinary facility. Dr. Vittori: - Asked if during these non-anesthetic procedures, if the gumline is probed to evaluate the decay, would that be allowable 7

8 - Answered than anything below the gumline would be considered subgingival and then require an anesthetic dental procedure. Section 21: No comment 3. Public Comment Dr. Pennell: With equine, it was 100 for dental and 50 for physical therapy and chiropractic. Because This was what was chosen. Ms. Machen: I think that is because they already hold a professional license; the equine dental providers do not. 4. Adjournment Adjourned at 12:45PM 8
