Section 573.1 - Avoidance of Conflicting Interest

A veterinarian shall not represent conflicting interests, except by express consent of all concerned given after a full disclosure of the facts. A veterinarian represents conflicting interests if, when employed by a buyer to inspect an animal for soundness, the veterinarian accepts a fee from the seller. Acceptance of a fee from both the buyer and seller is prima facie evidence of fraud.
