The vet said he gave two, documented in the medical record, then said he also gave the xylazine, not documented in the medical record. That leaves one drug unaccounted for.

AND he can't remember if he took the drug screen before he gave the sedation. If anyone here has ever been involved with a purchase exam, the vet you hire to do the exam should provide you with a written account of everything done during this exam, including copies of x-rays. If the horse had to be sedated for x-rays or a full mouth exam (not unusual to have to sedate), it should be noted in the purchase exam and the drug screen taken BEFORE sedation. This client got a shoddy exam (including x-ray readings) and does have a lawsuit against the vet.

Yes, the vet here is horrible. But the seller, through his agent, also did some pretty nasty stuff. The vet talked to the seller - Romney - about the positive drug tests, via the Seller's express agent. The seller is culpable.
People appear to be jumping through hoops to defend the seller here. Sorry - the seller sold a known lame horse for $125,000.
