So you have just completed a course of medication for your beloved steed as directed by your veterinarian and you find yourself with a small quantity of pharmaceutical drug, say trimethoprim sulfa antibiotic, that is left over. You happen to notice that on the tack shed shelf next to that container of medication is a bottle of Bute pills that expired in March of 2002! Also on the shelf you spy a dusty, zip lock sandwich bag containing three, 20 gauge needles and syringes you used last spring. So what do you do with this "medical waste"? Dump it in the garbage? NO! Flush the drugs down the toilet?? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Neither of the above are legal in the state of California.Wednesday, December 5, 2012
