"between Sept. 20, 2020 and Dec. 6, 2021,
without performing an examination and forming a diagnosis of any condition that required treatment, Respondent Baker prescribed, dispensed, or administered the following:Finish First Supplement ..Sedivet Lasix; GastroGard.. Bute inj.. Adequan.. Vits and Vit Booster.. Naquasone paste.. Dorm.. Rompun.. HyVisc.. Vetalog.. Banamine.. Otomax.. Fulvicin.. Equimune.. fluid therapy.. throat spray.. Legend.. and Endoscope."
No diagnosis needed, no examination required ... just slam the shit into the animal. On a regular basis.
Regular doses af Adequan? That's like giving your child NyQuil for breakfast.
HyVisc? That's Betamethasone,,, a banned 14 days out pain killing substance...
The vet got 4 years probation. What a joke.
