Why O Why would anyone give a painkiller to cattle.<p>I cannot imagine a cow saying the the farmer &quot;Hey farmer I banged my hoof on a rock in the field and it sure does hurt, any chance of a pain killer&quot;<p>Big Pharma selling another unwanted unnecessary drug.<p>The drug diclofenac is also prescribed to humans<p>I have noticed over the years how many veterinary drugs become human medications.<p>The drugs Pregabalin and pregalin were originally veterinary drugs.<p>Now they are prescribed for a plethora of psychiatric ailments in humans
