From the top it looks he electrolytes/vitamins and fluids which is normal. Naquasone paste is used to reduce minor inflammation and was given in oral form. Liquamycin is an antibiotic. Panacur powerpack is a series of 5 dewormers. On 4/13 he was given what looks like a pre-work series of enzymes, Bute and Adequan which is a joint treatment that helps reduce the inflammation and pain of degenerative joint disease, but also to help stop the degenerative process while stimulating the production of new joint fluid and new cartilage components. Adequan would be given in the muscle in this case.

On the 14th he was given Lasix before the work and scoped afterwards. He must have had some inflammation as they ultrasounded the right leg. he also got another shot of antibiotics.

On the 15th he had his digital tendon sheath injected with what looks like a combo of Amikacin which is an antibiotic used with bacterial infections and possibly polyglycan which is hyaluromnic acid, glucosamine and sodium chondroitan and possibly vetalog which is a corticosteroid used to fight inflamation. He also got a shot of Baytril which is also an antibiotic.

He got antibiotics till the 21st when he worked and was scoped again.

The next week he only got vitamins

On the 28th he worked again and bled (see EIPH slight) and both ankles were injected with hyalrulonic acid.

The next day he got 1 shot of antibiotics and vitamins

The next day he received a DMSO jug, a shot of Robaxin which is a muscle relaxant and a shot of banamine which reduces inflammation.

The day before the derby he got a shot of bute, amino acids, and robinul and sodium iodide. The Robinul and sodium iodide are usually used as a prerace treatment for a bleeder.

The rest is self explanatory.

In all candor this reads like a menu at a Diner in Jersey..Chuck this horse was a mess. I think Michael jackson had less meds in him.

He had a lot of antibiotics but everything else was nothing special. If you take away the antibiotics there really isnt much there.

Save the gastroguard which is over priced (who uses this anymore?) How about the anti inflam stuff? My "wonder pig" needs his ankles done with either acid or cortisone every month just to be able to train..That isn't good. If this horse needed such levels of meds it should have been repped and once it was BUYER BEWARE.. Why is Allday's opinion so different then yours on the subject.. Is he smarter then you also?lol

What are you talking about? Alldays opinion is hardly different than mine of course I dont have 1000s of gallons of lubrysn to sell either.

This "wonder pig" was the fav for the Derby. Should they not bother trying to win? What exactly qualifies you to know what is good or not?

The Wonder pig is what I call my horse not IWR who I thought was a heck of a talent..My horse needs constant anti inflammatory meds .. I noticed the commercial the other day as well for lube a butt.. I have been told be many a trainer gastoguard is good but 3 times as expensive as it competition which is just as good.. Do I know it isnt better NO but I dont even know if the Lipitor isn't killing me either.
