Re: [RC] Polo Ponies/Biodyl - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

Bad sign, replying to my own post. I looked again and apparently that is the 
standard disclaimer that I quoted. Looks like it's a selenium supplement. 
Considering that selenium is toxic in large doses and that the directions limit 
how often it can be given I wonder what the advantage was to inject rather than 
simply supply the supplement orally. I recently bought some vitamin e & 
selenium for the first time in a long time. The scoop inside was really big, so 
I read the directions and the recommended dosage was far less than the scoop 
size. That irritated me. I wonder how many people just automatically give one 
scoop a day assuming they give you the proper sized scoop. I know it won't kill 
them, but it can screw up their hooves.

The 21 polo ponies that died in Wellington Sunday were all injected
before the game with a vitamin supplement called Biodyl - 

I googled Biodyl. The first two sites to come up dealt with cockfighting and 
were blocked on my school's internet. The third was a supply house and put up 
the following warning:

Controlled drugs (narcotics, sedatives, amphetamine- and testosterone-like 
drugs) cannot be provided and will not be quoted. We do not provide controlled 
drugs by mail

Not exactly a Flintstone's chewable vitamin.
