Obviously there are different guidelines for different food-producing species because they're managed and raised differently. The point that the veterinary community is not concerned or interested is that we have some guidelines that are federal rules on prescription only, for example, that impact all species. Therefore, when the drug is made prescription it's prescription for all species for all indications, so that starts to have some effect on how they're used in companion animals. As I mentioned, honeybees, aquarium fish, or some of the smaller species are not really on the radar.
For the veterinarians, all those rules become the same. You need to establish medical need before you generate a prescription, and a drug can't be sold unless there's a legitimate prescription. Those rules are the same. However, the management protocols on how you use the pharmaceuticals and what might be prudent use in one species certainly can be prudent in another species, which would include small animals. Again, from a veterinarian's point of view, we have veterinarians like me, when I was in practice, who dealt with all species and we have veterinarians who deal with only one species and become expert in it. We rely on their expertise to help us develop those guidelines and what's the best, most prudent use in the individual species.
