Take steps now to celebrate CONTINUED FROM PAGE B20
ance is a furtherance of Guidance of the Industry #213 (GFI#213) known as the Veterinary Feed Directive that went into effect in 2017. GFI #213 dealt with veterinary oversight of “medically important” antibiotics delivered to livestock via feed and/or water. In June of 2021, the FDA implemented a 2-year timeline for sponsors of “medically important” antimicrobial drugs voluntarily transfer them to prescription status. The end of the two years is June 11, 2023 and all “medically important” antimicrobials will require a veterinary prescription and must contain the prescription statement: “Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian”. Again, these products are not being removed from the marketplace, but they are being brought under veterinary oversight and you will need a prescription. This will include all of the medically important injectable antibiotics. One of my favorite steps - Break down your goal into smaller successful steps. This will allow you to celebrate the little victories while making your resolution seem more manageable. As mentioned earlier if you have a VCPR established – invite your veterinarian over and go to the next step and celebrate your success. However, if you still need some motivation. One small goal that you can celebrate is that Ionophores, antiparaciticiedes, injectable and oral nutritional supplements are not affected by the change. These products may still be purchased Over-the-Counter (OTC). Furthermore, Guidance #263 does not require the owner to purchase the antibiotics through their veterinarian, you may still use your regular suppliers as long as you have a prescription. GFI #263 only affects “medically important” antimicrobials such as Oxytetracyclines, Penicillins, Sulfa based antibiotics, Tylosin, and Cephapirin. Celebrate your success is the final step. You have worked hard to establish a valid veterinarian-client-patient-relationship. If an emergency arises your critters are covered thanks to your hard-working efforts. We tend to dwell on our lows too much and not celebrate our highs enough. Go have a good time and applaud yourself. June 11, 2023 will be here before you know it. If you put the time in planning and implementing the steps outlined above, you will have a greater success of keeping your resolution of establishing a valid veterinarian-client-patientrelationship. Just like the holiday fruitcake do not stock up on pharmaceutical products as they have expiration dates and can lose effectiveness. And remember, the new guidance will apply to all companion and food animal species. References available upon request.

Afro Birthed by the black pride movement, the afro represents a time when African Americans stopped applying harsh chemicals to their hair in order to achieve something close to Caucasian texture and style. In the 1960s, the afro was a political statement but today it is worn as fashion. Anyone with extremely curly hair can also adopt the style.
