Can anyone point me towards documents on maintaining confidentiality while conducting case reports? I feel certain it can be done in vet med, since it can be done in human med.
I am talking about cases like those in blogs like this:

I know the details have to be kept confidential, and I know names are changed, but what exactly is the legality? Obviously vets write up cases for journals and for magazines (such as DVM 360) even in the light hearted articles without asking for permission directly from owners. I am just curious about what can and can't be done in documenting one's work.
