251-9 Wyo. Code R. §§ 9-4 - Supervision
(a) A licensee is professionally and legally
responsible for any practice of veterinary medicine by the licensee's
unlicensed employees. An employee's practice of veterinary medicine without a
license constitutes grounds for the Board to take disciplinary action against
the licensee. A licensee shall have established a valid
veterinarian-client-patient relationship before delegating an animal health
care task to a non-licensed employee as allowed by the Act.
(b) A licensee shall not authorize a
non-licensed employee to perform the following functions:
(i) Surgery;
(ii) Diagnosis and prognosis; or
(iii) Prescribing drugs, medicines, or
appliances.
(c) A
licensee shall ensure that the activities of a supervised non-licensed
individual are within the scope of the orders, assignment, or prescriptions of
the licensee and within the capabilities of the individual. This does not
prohibit performing animal health care tasks by the unlicensed individual as
allowed by the Act and only at the customary place of business. Nor does it
prohibit, under emergency situations where an animal requires immediate
treatment to sustain life or prevent further injury, an unlicensed employee
from rendering lifesaving aid and treatment in the absence of a
licensee.
