Vet convicted for possession of unauthorised animal remedy By Gordon Deegan A veterinary surgeon “compromised the horse industry” here when taking possession of unauthorised animal remedies three years ago. That is according to Judge Patrick Durcan who this week convicted and fined south Galway vet Felim Mac Eoin €2,500 for the possession of unauthorised animal remedy – sarcoid cream – which Mac Eoin used to treat cancerous skin tumours in horses. A Department of Agriculture inspector found the sarcoid cream in the boot of Mac Eoin’s car outside his Galway Equine Clinic, Kilcolgan, on May 8, 2018.
