I asked what it was for, and they told me that there was legislation pending that would prohibit
vets from dispensing medications that were manufactured to be used on humans.

It would include all antibiotics they currently use, penicillin (sp), and many other topical and allergy related items.

It would basically leave them with the flea, and worming products, and not much else.

And don't even get me started about what also being kicked around for "approved" veterinary surgical aids.

The legislation was being sought by drug companies to make some more cash....
Basically, they could rename, relabel, and resell what they already make.

Yes, my friends, "until money no longer makes the world go 'round" we can look forward to more of this type of HOOO-HAAA.

The bill was defeated, but I'm hearing a little
tinkle of it here. (no pun intended, Schnoodle)

I really don't believe that it's due to people using pet medications, or eating large goldfish.
(Quite possibly for people of other cultures this may be an acceptable form of raising their own food.)

I do remember as a cashier (long, long, time ago) cashing out an old, disheveled man who never bought anything other than cat food each week.

I believe this law, or a re-creation of it, could be making it's rounds again.

Maybe looking up some info on the FDA may not be a bad idea.
