HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A Connecticut appeals court on Friday upheld state sanctions against a veterinarian for giving half doses of rabies vaccines to smaller dogs, a practice he says is safer but state officials say is dangerous.
A three-judge panel of the Appellate Court, the state s second-highest court, unanimously dismissed an appeal of the sanctions by John Robb, a veterinarian who now practices in Newtown. A message seeking comment was left for Robb on Friday.
In 2017, the Connecticut Board of Veterinary Medicine placed Robb s license on probation for 25 years, banned him from administering rabies vaccines to animals during the entire probationary period and ordered Robb s practice to be supervised and undergo random audits.
