"Off-label use" is not the same as "ignore them and do whatever they want to do."
There are certain drugs I use off-label under a vet's direction. There are others I inject in a different area to that specified because to do as the label recommends is either impossible or dangerous.
I read the label of every drug I'm unfamiliar with. When they change the recommendations, I rely on my vet to inform me of that next time I buy it. Several common antibiotics have had the withholding time increased within the last few years.
So I hear about this sort of stuff sometimes when talking with vets. That doesn't mean I can take any guess as to how wide-spread it is, or whether anyone out there is actually perfect.

I don't think you'll get useful answers starting a discussion this way. Maybe on a vet's forum. It's acknowledged that a great many people lack the desire to read, or the ability to follow simple instructions... in the minds of those giving the instructions.how many producers actually read and follow label directions
