The prescription must have a valid medical reason, be written for a patient the veterinarian has seen (this is called a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship), and be documented. Also, there is a list of drugs that are prohibited in food production animals that must be adhered to.

Would a veterinarian prescribe pregabalin for muscle tumor?
No, the veterinarian would resect the tumor with a wide margin if possible and then provide accepted pain medication such as tramadol or Rimadyl. An opioid pain reliever may be provided if the animal appears to be in significant pain. Pregabalin (Lyrica) is a new drug that has limited approval for use in human medication. Veterinarians are prohibited from using drugs not approved for use in animals unless there is significant medical need and no animal-approved drug is available. As there are other options for treating muscle pain associated with a myosarcoma or myoma, a veterinarian prescribing pregabalin would be doing so illegally.
Should your mother who took six months Adefovir Dipivoxil as prescribed by her doc continue taking it in the time before her next doctors visit which is one more month?
That depends. Did the prescribing doctor tell her to only take the medication for six months? If he did not tell her to how long to take the medication, she should continue taking it until she speaks with her doctor. You should not cease taking a prescription medication without first consulting the prescribing doctor, unless that doctor tells you how long you should be taking the medication. A quick call to the prescribing doctor's office will help in your specific case.
