Actually, ECTRA members recently received (or are about to receive)
their most recent newsletter with a brief listing of common substances
and "best guess" withdrawal times, so that members would be able to
conscientiously treat their animals without violating the spirit of the
rules, which say "No Drugs Permitted".  I believe the reason Heather
(Hoyns, DVM) was unable to do this at the annual meeting was that the
results of recent (USCTA?,FEI?) research on withdrawal times of commonly
used drugs & other substances.
