RE: Consumers reports FDA approval on Laser Glucometer

["Steph Teeter" <step@fsr.com>]

Truman, I asked a lot of vets and AERC bod members
about this - at the time the question was about
drawing blood during a ride for analysis. This
does not violate any AERC rules. And is not considered
an 'invasive procedure'. Examples of invasive procedures
would be chiropractic, accupuncture, electric muscle
stimulation - procedures that directly effect the horse's
ability to perform.

<<  I remember correctly "any invasive procedure" which sinking a pricking
the
 skin, either with a needle or laser, would have to be considere invasive
since
 it does break the skin, would be in violation of the AERC drug policy.
