Estrumate…vet only?

[Headless chicken]

Unless the regs have changed in the past year Estrumate isn't a vet only treatment.

As for those who think they are some kind of clever cheeky chappy because they imagine that they are getting some kind of special treatment from ther mate the vet because they give you a jag of what you believe to be a vet only drug, you're not, and if you were some kind of special friend that your vet will risk being struck off for, you're vet will think you're a right ₩@nk€ŕ for saying stupid sh1t like that online.

You can buy it on farmacy with a script

Correct
For those unsure ring the bva.
however no vet is bound to let you have any drug if they have any form of concern. Some have a blanket policy, others are more liberal. And those who use discretion.
I believe there are some drugs that require special storage ie separate locked cabinets etc .

It can cause problems for any (breeding age?) female that handles it and for anyone with asthma apparently, and can be absorbed through the skin. As a result, restrictions on handling it have been tightened up, but at vet's discretion, officially or unofficially.

Tis why I’m tasked with the job. Damn good at it too

For anyone confused on here it’s a POM-V
Has to be prescribed by the vet for a certain animal or group of animals to be administered by a competent person

Westpoint handed me a bottle of Estrumate, led to the worst 24 hours of my farming life, 5 years later they are still chasing us for invoices we refuse to pay, probably going to end up with them refusing to provide us with a service. Tread carefully.

It's a controlled hormone so it's up to the individual vet's discretion if it can be farmer administered

I have two vets practices and made the mistake of mentioning to one that I had estrumate and he contacted the other practice and lambasted them 🫣
