A veterinarian is asked by a pet owner to prescribe human antibiotics for a dog with mild pruritus without performing a physical examination or diagnostic workup. According to the CFMV Code of Professional Ethics (Resolução CFMV nº 1138/2016), what is the appropriate conduct?

Provide the prescription remotely to maintain client satisfaction, since human broad-spectrum antibiotics carry no veterinary regulatory restrictions. Dispense an oral cephalosporin immediately at triple the standard therapeutic dosage to ensure rapid empirical symptom suppression. Refer the client to a pet store clerk to select over-the-counter antimicrobial additives without requiring clinical diagnosis. Refuse the prescription, as prescribing medication without direct clinical examination and diagnostic justification constitutes an ethical infraction, and promote responsible antimicrobial stewardship.

Correct Answer:

Refuse the prescription, as prescribing medication without direct clinical examination and diagnostic justification constitutes an ethical infraction, and promote responsible antimicrobial stewardship.
