Does anyone know the tolerance levels and withholding periods? I have heard rumours of people using this in the past. I doubt it is in wide use however. Its very dangerous to use on any dog and anyone caught using arsenic should be banned for life. From my understanding, arsenic increases the rate that the dogs body pumps red blood cells but has many drawbacks. Give the dog too much of a dose and it can be really dangerous for the dog. Anyone willing to go that far to win a race shouldn't be in charge of any animals period.

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 The correct statement Shakey should have been anyone willing to giive their dog anything to win a race not just arsenic. As for you Rangipo unfounded rumours are ridiculous. Most of them are started with losers with an agenda and wishing to create a bad image. That is one very good reason to identify yourself, to give credence. At the moment I have heard it rumored that you are either a very good racehorse or a hotel for bad boys in the cental north island. alltheway!!! and come on ref 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted April 3, 2017 Onya Jimmy, remember drug testing over the decades have failed to confirm the rumour. There have been a number of isolated positives mostly historic and arsenic is one of the easier substances to detect.
