RC: Impermissable drugs

[Liz Newfield <lizfield@jeffnet.org>]

Last fall I purchased a horse that was severly deficient in selenium (count
of 10). My vet recommended giving him a powedered suppement over time as
opposed to giving him an injuction, saying that there is some risk of death
from the injections.  I treated him for about 4 months before retesting.
He came out in the high normal range.

>selenium/vitamin E is needed in a severely deficient horse before the oral
>supplementation will have any effect.  Now I see (from the list Steph
>posted) that such injections are not allowed for horses in competition.

>So, how much time is required between administration of injected E/Se and
