Horse steroids?

Question

what is stopping me or anyone else from going to the vet and saying I need steroids for my horse and using them myself?

Answer 1

What makes you think the Vet will just give you steroids just because you say you need them for your horse?

Answer 2

Nothing I suppose, so long as you have a working relationship with the veterinarian and he/she knows that your horse has a condition that warrants steroid use.  Even in animals, steroids are prescription drugs, and the docs (at least the docs I work for) do not just "hand them out".

Answer 3

well your horse would actually need the steroids for the vet to give them to you.  and then you'd be a jerk for taking your horses meds.

Answer 4

because it could be dangerous and very pricey. For some reason everything that has to do with horses is very expensive.....Like say a bottle aspirn....for a horse it costs about $10 for a human it cost about $2

Answer 5

Probably because someone else has already done it and is selling them?  http://www.tridenosenhreview.com
