[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1354108, member: 12607"] Right you are, milkmaid. Extra-label drug use is NOT the same as so-called 'off-label', which is more properly named... inappropriate (and sometimes illegal) use. One dose of PPG will give a therapeutic drug level for about 12 hours... and a 5 cc dose is appropriate for a 165 lb animal. Skruzich has described inappropriate and insufficient use(unless he/she is raising teacup Jerseys) of an antibiotic... illustrating quite effectively some of the reasons that we have issues with antibiotic-resistant pathogens - and why FDA continues to 'take away' drugs that veterinarians and producers used to have at our disposal. Y'all can give all the old anecdotal tales of throwing salt, pepper, whatever, in a wound and it leading to miraculous healing, but it's BS. Even back in the day when nitrofurazone was allowed... it actually hindered wound healing... so why would you put it in there? A pretty decent rule of thumb, with regard to wound healing is: Unless YOU would put it in your own eye, you shouldn't put it in a wound. Just because you can... doesn't mean that you should.
