https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/non-clinical-questions/10404/flubenvet-licensing I was just nabbed by a receptionist with a question about flubenvet - a client of ours whose dogs and cats we have seen, wanted some flubenvet for a chicken which we havent seen. There is no legal category on the data sheet, it just says it has to been-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/53075?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:37:35 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:12676ab0-808b-49c3-a8e3-124ba5b16520Marie Kubiak<p>I usually recommend that we do a faecal float in house on a pooled sample (or each chicken for small flocks) and ascertain whether they need parasite control and if flubenvet is appropriate. That way I can safely claim the flock is under my care and prescribe with a clear conscience and also identify other parasite problems (especially Eimeria burdens). Most owners are more than happy to do this, especially when you explain if its negative they will save money and keep their flock drug-free!</p> <p>Marie</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/53060?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:07:12 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3af8bb85-ed26-4d8d-a9d2-d53b0b89005bAlex Gough<p>Thanks, I was just aware that, certainly in the past, some products could be sold freely by merchants which could only be sold by vets to animals under their care.</p> <p>alex</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/53037?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:17:27 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:082714d5-d7b8-4839-827e-890b4e19cfd2Bob Russell<p>Similar category to Frontline. Ask a few polite questions about the birds, look&nbsp;knowledgeable, explain that they must read the label/package insert and hand it over. This is what a SQP at the saddlers/merchant&nbsp;&nbsp;would do after all.</p> <p>I will stop at this point so as not to rant about how a non-medically trained person can legally write a prescription!&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
