veterinarian meets the following qualifications:
(a)
1.
Applicant has filed an application for temporary licensure identifying the name
and address of the owner of the animals to be treated, the type of animals to

veterinary medicine in another state of the United States and that any license

and

identified in the application. Upon expiration of the license, a new license
shall be required.
