In the dilemma discussed in the July/August issue of In Practice , David Williams described a scenario where you, as a newly qualified vet, are asked to officiate at a greyhound track in place of the senior partner at the practice.

The owner takes the dog for a ‘walk’ while you examine the other dogs and when he returns the dog is no longer lame and goes on to win the race. You suspect the dog was given a prohibited anti‐inflammatory injection ( IP , July/August 2018, vol 40, pp 262‐263). What do you do?
