Glenda,
There you go asking those practical, unanswerable drug questions again!! According to AERC, we are supposed to "know" and "research" these things our selves.. <tongue in cheek>
The only cite I have is the drug policy that circulated from AERC & is on Steph's web site. Only non-absorbable topical wound dressings are allowed. I'm not sure what the absorbable portion of SWAT is, but I have seen it specifically mentioned as illegal by vets on this list and at rides that I attend. I will try to find out what substances are in it & report back.
Withdrawal time? Who knows! Is it tested for? Probably not, but maybe. I would not use it for 3-5 days before a competition if it was to repel ear flies. If I was using it for an injury. the horse wouldn't be competing anyway.
Here's a web site that lists SWAT, though not the ingredients other than pyrethrins.

SWAT is illegal to use during competition? I regularly use this as fly
repellant in Lakota's ears, particularly during high summer when the gnats
get in there and chew the skin up. :( Why is this illegal to use during
competition, do you know? Is it illegal to use any fly repellant during
competition? How long before competition should I discontinue use of
SWAT?
