A Lexington, KY pharmaceutical company has been placed under further investigation by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) due to the reported sickening of eight horses, two of which have died. A Lex 18 story on May 12 reports that the two Florida horses did not survive and that six others became nearly crippled and very sick.
According to lex.com, a week ago the horses were administered with a dose of compounded EPM drugs from Wickliffe Veterinary Pharmacy to treat a neurological parasite called Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM).
Authorities are attempting to find out how this happened and, if deemed necessary, how to inform others if necessary.
Dr. Scott Stanley was notified by experts about this occurrence to the Florida horses due to his expertise and because he operates the Equine Drug Testing Laboratory at the University California Davis.
Dr. Stanley surmises that it is possible the drugs were not formulated correctly or properly. Likewise, it is also possible that the drugs were compounded perfectly but were not correctly administered to the horses. The FDA is still working on this determination.
