I just heard on NPR that the drug, Ceftiofur (hope I spelled it correctly), will no longer be available from vets for animals starting later this year. This is the drug, Excede, I believe, and is an excellent drug for treating some serious bacteria- like Strangles. This drug was approved for horses just last year, if I recall correctly. It is one we have used here and has been a life saver, literally. Although there are other medications out there, Excede has been shown to be very effective in treating some very serious bacterias, when many other drugs have failed. The report says it should be for people only.
Has anyone heard this news?? Please chime in!
