[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1360061, member: 12607"] That, and physicians continuing to prescribe antibiotics to their patients for conditions, like the common cold, that don't warrant antimicrobial treatment... and human patients receiving antibiotics and not taking them according to direction and for the entirety of the prescribed course. I often wonder how TD&H manage to get their hands on some of the stuff they're injecting... and if they got it from a veterinarian... why didn't that veterinarian take a few minutes to explain a little bit about mode of action, indications for use, appropriate dosages... and meat/milk withdrawal times. I wonder, but unfortunately, I think I know.... That said, I'd prefer to see TD&H giving massive, excessive dosages - so long as they adhere to an appropriate slaughter withdrawal time - rather than underdosing. For example... a 10 cc dose of Procaine Penicillin G... will give a therapeutic treatment level of drug in blood/tissue for 12 hours, for a 330 lb animal. It is not appropriate for a 1200 lb animal, and should almost never be given as a 1-time treatment. [/QUOTE]
