[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 652952, member: 173"] I'm also confused as to the point you're trying to make.. if any? When veterinarians dispense drugs, they sometimes overwrite the actual label on the bottle, but isn't that so you have legible instructions also? Many drugs are not species specific, so you'd have to know the dosage regardless. There are also many drugs (as mentioned previously) that are not "labeled" for certain sicknesses, diseases, conditions, etc., but are still acceptable to use. The POINT to labeling and how you administer the drug is the resisdual in the meat / organs / blood, whatever. Consumers are worried because we keep hearing about how treating animals with certain medicines is making people resistant to them.. which I don't believe. There are irresponsible ranchers / cattlepersons that will use medications with absolutely no concern as to withdrawl times, because their main concern is selling something and making sure it looks to be healthy when they sell. Happens all the time, because people don't like to be ACCOUNTABLE for their actions. I'm going to suggest that THIS is the main problem, not people that don't read labels. [/QUOTE]
