They came for your children with rainbow fentanyl. Dazzle the dog is strung out on marijuana cigarettes. And now, drugs are impacting America's wildlife.
FYI, veterinarians are required to check the PDMP before prescribing anything to your pet, we have many reports of vets refusing to prescribe appropriate pain care for pets AFTER SURGERY because the owner has a prescription on file in the PDMP for an opioid. In addition, any narcotic a vet has ever prescribed for your pet appears in your PDMP file, and contributes to the metrics that tabulate your NarxCare Score-many patients have been denied essential pain medicine (yes also some AFTER SURGERY) by a doctor, or had a pharmacist refuse to fill an opioid prescription because their NarxCare score was higher than it likely would be if their pet’s prescription wasn’t included. This fucked up situation was caused by this brand of moral panic, specifically some Bloomberg articles over the last decade suggesting veterinarians were “concerned” “addicts” would ABUSE THEIR PETS by taking their medications, or HARMING THEM specifically to get the vet to prescribe. Lemme know if you need receipts...
Goddammit! Those animals are taking all of our drugs

Jesus fucking christ, that's insane. yes please, any info you have would be great.
OMFG I didn’t even have to go looking through my personal INSANE database: FDA has compiled things neatly...if you scroll down they have not only provided references to reporting but also STUDIES! https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/resources-you/opioid-epidemic-what-veterinarians-need-know, but as far as the PDMP intersection, I recommend reading this article before anything else: https://www.wired.com/story/opioid-drug-addiction-algorithm-chronic-pain/ and I’d love to hear what you think 🖤
Comin up! 🖤
