Antibiotics

[phystech]

I belong to a partnership that races on the east coast. Our horse last ran on Oct 22 and finished up the track. An after race scope showed mucous in the airway so immediate treatment with antibiotics ensued. I don't know the exact antibiotic that was used.

The horse is entered to run back on Saturday, a mere 10 days after the treatments were started.

The manager claims the antibiotics cleared everything up so we're ready to go!!

In my past infrequent experiences with my horses getting antibiotics, I can't recall any of them being able to run within 10 days of starting on antibiotics. It seems to me that we typically had to wait 7 days after the treatments ended and typically, the horse was treated for at least a week if not a little longer, which would put a race out at least 14 to 17 days upon the start of antibiotic treatment.

Do I have my timeframes out of whack here?
