THIS series gives readers the opportunity to consider and contribute to discussion of some of the ethical dilemmas that can arise in veterinary practice. Each month, a case scenario is presented, followed by discussion of some of the issues involved. In addition, a possible way forward is suggested; however, there is rarely a cut‐and‐dried answer in such cases, and readers may wish to suggest an alternative approach. This month's dilemma, ‘When in Rome. . . ’, was submitted and is discussed by Richard Brown. Readers with comments to contribute are invited to send them as soon as possible, so that they can be considered for publication in the next issue. Discussion of the dilemma ‘Delivering profit?’, which was published in the November/December issue of In Practice , appears on page 47. The series is being coordinated by Steven McCulloch. It is hoped it will provide a framework that will help practitioners find solutions when facing similar dilemmas.
