Using an ultrasound is non invasive and does not *REQUIRE* a veterinarian to do it. That it is regulated by the state is the real issue here, not that they are doing it.
The state, protecting the guild rather than the public, would probably classify taking the animals temperature as "practicing" veterinarian medicine.
This is overreach by the bureaucracy. One good thing that may eventually come of AI is the democratization of services now being charged by certain types of licensed professional people.
We already know that AI is often better than doctors at reading X Rays, Cat Scans, and MRIs.
Can probably do a better job handling most legal matters too. :)
