[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 652992, member: 5106"] I go off label on some things esp. pen. But with everything you MUST know withdrawal times. Fortunately 99.99% of animals I sell for food consumption have been 100% healthy and have had no need for any meds. When we dairied however off label was never ever done unless our vet was with us and worked out the exact withdrawal time. Shipping milk with residuals in it is very costly as well as wrong. The milk from everyone on your run will be dumped out at your place and you will be have to pay for everyone's milk as well as all the trucking so it could cost you 20 - 30 thousand dollars for a very stupid error..It happened to us once when we had a relief milker and he milked a treated cow straight into the tank..The guy was lucky to escape with his life.. :mad: The first time I bought banamine (from my vet clinic) I got home and read the label and it said IV use only. I called my vet because everyone on here was using it IM. He said try to use it IV if you can not get it in the neck vain the first 2 tries do not torture the calf anymore and do it IM. I have only used it on young calves and now do not use it very often at all because it is really really hard on the gut. Now if you all would have been here to see how much meds and the wayyyyyy off label doses we gave to our cow with the uterine prolapse last Feb. some of you would be stunned..But, she lived, the uterus stayed in ,she is raising her calf as well as supplementing a twin and our vet said she should have no reoccurring problems again..She will live her life out here with us as well and will never ever enter the food chain.. I wouldn't recommend off label use to just anyone, but as was stated before on here,the drug companies need to update label usage and in withdrawal times, but because it costs money they just inform the vets and they are to inform the clients.
