6 A NEW POLICY REGARDING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS An accident, which could have had terrible consequences, happened due to a misunderstanding. We have used our dot system for years, and many have put supplements, and sometimes supplements with prescription medications into baggies, or other containers for our men to give at feeding time. Until now, nothing has gone wrong with this. We have cautioned boarders that if it is imperative that the horse get the medication, it s wiser to have staff do it, and many pay us to give the medications. This horses s owner was paying staff to medicate the horse, but a red dot appeared on a horse s stall card. The man who was feeding, gave the horse what was in the container. This horse was getting previcox in gummy candies, and he received a great deal more than one. Staff went to medicate him, and found the empty container. A tragedy was averted, but the horse had to be treated at U. C. Davis. It was several days before we knew he was fine. We used leftover Bubba Fund money to help the owner with the hospital costs. We ve been struggling with how to provide medication, but ensure that such an accident never happens again. After careful consideration, we ve a new policy. A red dot with the feed dots, must only be used for non-prescription feed or supplements, where there is no threat to health if it isn t given, or if more than one is given. Occasionally a horse gets out and eats whatever is kept on stall doors, so this will prevent an accident happening that way, too. All prescription medicine that you want given to your horse, must be done by staff; must be in the container it comes in; and be accompanied by the vet s instructions, which are sometimes on the container. We can make copies of these for us to use. Medicines will be stored in the Medical (Exam) Room. Staff will take the medicine, do whatever preparation may be necessary, and give it to the horse, marking the stall calendar to show it was done. Staff will leave a note on the calendar when/if medication is getting low, so that it can be re-ordered. Medication will never be mixed prior to the time it is to be given and medication will not be stored on the stall front. Feed, carrots, or whatnot to use to give the medication may be stored on the stall front. Our fee for medicating your horse is now $1.00, rather than.50. These changes go into effect on 2/1/15. We realize that s not a lot of notice, but we will work with you to make the transition as seamless as possible. Contact us with any needs, concerns or questions at cowgirlinc@earthlink.net. Thanks for helping us keep horses safe!
