"veterinarian". 1. Only a person licensed or exempt under this article

shall practice veterinary medicine or use the title "veterinarian".

2. A licensed veterinarian or a professional service corporation

capacities as are prescribed by law and as from time to time may be set

by the commissioner or the state board of veterinary medicine. A
