Thanks for all your posts on this, Drib.
There have been many drug "crises" over the years -- steroids, cobra venom, cobalt, etc. -- but this one is bothering me much more.
I'm not a doctor or vet, but it doesn't take much smarts to read the description of how these drugs work and know that they are extremely risky for young horses. You're screwing with bone growth, for God's sake! Any vet that administered these drugs to young horses should lose his/her license. They really should have their legs broken as well.
I'm not ready to join PETA, but I can no longer muster up arguments with a lot of what they're saying, particularly about medications.
