Veterinarians in exotic animal practice encounter distinctive ethical challenges that extend beyond traditional small-animal paradigms. Decisions concerning euthanasia, diagnostic limitations, pain management, and client expectations often require swift moral judgment without established precedent. This session introduces a practical methodology for addressing such dilemmas, grounded in philosophic frameworks that support transparent, defensible, and welfare-centered decision-making. Participants will explore stepwise tools for analyzing moral conflict through the principles of beneficence, non‑maleficence, duty, and character. Real-world cases from exotic practice illustrate how these tools guide reasoning when welfare, medical, and client interests diverge. Participants will learn evidence-informed strategies to recognize and resolve moral distress through guided reflection and moral reasoning. The session emphasizes cultivating moral resilience and epistemic humility—acknowledging limitations while preserving moral responsibility to mitigate stress, strengthen professional trust, and foster sustainable, welfare-centered care.
