Dex and tests

Post by futurepigbreeder » Thu Aug 22, 2019 5:24 pm

Does anybody know if dex will show up if pigs are tested? We have a show this Saturday that tests top placing pigs and though I highly doubt he’ll place that high but knowing our luck he will and it does test so just want to make sure.

Being that it is a steroid I imagine yes that it would test. Pr

It does. I cant remember if it's an 8 or 15 day withdrawal. Plus it's off label for swine.

Dex is an 8 day withdraw. Since Dex is a prescription drug, and I'm guessing you got it with a vet script, you may want to ask the show about it, prescribed by a licensed vet.
