[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 773047, member: 637"] There is a long waiting period for meds given to cattle that are not for human consumption. Up to 21 days, and there may be some longer. I am not sure I looked up Penicillin, and it had a 72 hour milk withdrawal, but no slaughter waiting period for beef. You cannot use it on horses for slaughter. Horses and people can take the same medicines. I wonder what the difference would be between the two? Sulfa drugs can be taken by humans, and I looked at the waiting periods. From what I understand, the problem with the sulfer based drugs, it leaves the residue on the meat and in milk for a period of time. So there has to be a waiting period unless you like rotten eggs. Maybe like the green onions in the milk like my Grand Parents used to tell me about at their Jersey dairy.. It says not to use on laying hens. I am sure the meat would have an "off smell and taste" if there was not a waiting period. Even the drugs that were used on humans that were changed, such as Oxytetracycline, there is no withdrawl time. But you cannot eat eggs from chickens. Chicken eggs seem to be an exception to the rule on everything. The medications that warn us not to use for human use, but can be used on animals for human consumption, have the longest waiting periods. If it was a favorite cow, I would get a prescription of the meds he speaks of before I let the cow die. I am glad that Dr. Barney joined in and I hope he continues to help us. It might be helpful just to type in other drugs we take to see how many are approved to be taken by animals also. Dr. Barney may have opened my small brain up. I hope he continues to join in. He may be another step beyond grandpa's way of thinking. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
