SLAUGHTER WITHDRAWAL FOR STEROIDS?

[winchesterbrangus]

My 3 year old Brangus bull has blown both of his back knees (and right at breeding time!) - we are giving him steroid injections for the inflammation which has enabled him to stand up, and he now has limited mobility. I know there's a 21 day withdrawal for the antibiotic we gave him (before we knew what had happened), but am now wondering if there's also a time for the steroid residue....... Can't seem to find that addressed anywhere... help?

It would help to know what you actually gave him. A steroid doesn't tell us much. I'm also curious why he was given antibiotics when you had no justification to do so.

Gee, why not ask the vet?

Administering drugs, then checking for a withdrawl after the fact, must be a more common practice than I had presumed.

Sadly I think you're right!
