Where did you get the idea that the regulation of "organic" labeling prevents treating sick animals? To my knowledge it is not true.

It does not prevent treatment, but if treated with antibiotics, that animals milk will never there after be organic. Thems the rules.

That is insane that that is the case here in the US. ( and I just checked as I could not believe it).

In Europe it’s different - https://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/organic/eu-policy/eu-rules-...

“When the animals are ill, chemically synthesised allopathic veterinary medicinal products including antibiotics may be used where necessary and under strict conditions. This is only allowed when the use of phytotherapeutic, homeopathic and other products is inappropriate.”
