[QUOTE="cowman30, post: 630785, member: 9290"] Dex is a naturally occuring hormone in the body of animals and people. In fact for the dex used in cows they get it out of the adrenal gland of pigs if I am not mistaken. Anyways it is an anti-inflammatory and pain relieving agent. However, it does suppress the immune system. I have found though that used in conjunction with antibiotics and probiotics given after the treatments are over that it has indeed been a wonder drug much like larry suggested. I have seen animals turn around over night. It can mask symptoms sometimes though but if you got an animal with swelling or pneumonia dex and antibiotics are the way to go in my opinion and in my vets opinion. [/QUOTE]
