(f) Any other information required by the official veterinarian.

(2) The practicing veterinarian must sign and file the report with an official veterinarian within forty-eight hours of treatment.

If a horse is entered to run in a race and the treatment occurs within forty-eight hours of post time of the race for which the horse is entered, the report must be filed by 10:00 a.m. the morning of the race, with the exception of the furosemide administration as directed in WAC 260-70-650 .
