DEX

[CYJ]

There is a very good chance that what you get from overseas will not be the real deal. Will still be illegal to have. The correct Dex that was used. Was called Pref 2X not sure of the whole name now. It was made by the Upjohn Drug company.

Why this one worked so well is that it was a type Cortizone that was slow acting and long lasting. Was a dark thick milky looking liquid in it's bottle. The Azium was very clear and looked like water. Was fast acting.

I would like to add it was not used to dry out a dog to make weight. It's main purpose was to check Swelling of tissue/ bleeding/regulate dog into a deep breathing mode and prevent after effects shock.

I talked to my Vet a good while back about some plain B-12. Which the MD doctors are not offering much these days for the elderly. At least not my Dr. Really helps one if feeling run down. My ex vet said they are monitored on any meds ordered. Same as the drug stores.

The Hog and Cattle farmers use to be able with a whole sale license order all needed meds for their animals. Think that has been done away with.

CYJ, I have really enjoyed your posts since you've signed up, but this one here is just not correct. I have been ordering from foreign markets for years, and (if you go to the right places) they very much are the real deal.

Dex and azium are essentially the same thing, but azuim has a salt added to it to (as you said) make it faster-acting.

For anti-inflammation, dex is 30x as potent as cortisone ...

I agree, I know a lot of people use these drugs to dry out a dog and help them to make weight, but IMO this is a misuse of dex/azium.

Our vet had a horse magazine in the lobby about pending veterinary laws and acts being worked on in the NC general assembly. The current law pretty much says any medicine given to correct a medical issue is practicing veterinarian medicine, which is against the law. The bill/proposition is trying to expand this. If your dog does not have heart worms and you give him preventative each month that is OK. If your dog has worms and you use worm medicine to correct this issue you are practicing veterinarian medicine, which is against the law. The first proposal was to make all worm medicines, as well as other 'farm store' 'jeffers' 'revival' animal medicines by prescription only. The first argument against this was if the dog had fleas, and fleas are a medical issue, as well as lead to medical issues, will the flea and tick shampoo need a prescription too? The bill never got going last year but it has been modified and will make another run in the summer. I can't see anything ever passing like this in a farming/agriculture state but if there is an angle for a middle man to turn a dollar I guess people will try just about anything. EWO
