It is possible that during some stage of your research or teaching, an animal in your care becomes unwell.
If this happens, your response must be:
You must inform the Facility Technician in Charge, or the Facility Senior Technician and take further advice from them.
If the condition is serious and that the condition of the animal has reached the point of euthanasia, then the animal must be euthanased and made available for necropsy.
Depending on the circumstances, the responsibility for necropsy will be determined by Director, Animal Care Services or the Chair of the Animal Ethics Committee.
