[QUOTE="regolith, post: 652255, member: 9267"] "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. 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. 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. [/QUOTE]
