[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1772188, member: 39112"] Welcome to our (Canadian) world. Any meds, other then parasite control, has to come from a Vet here. It was changed a few years ago, I'm on the fence about it, but who asks me. =D In order to get any meds you have to have a vet-client relationship, which means a yearly visit from one of the Vets to your farm. They don't look at specific animals, but rather just the whole herd in the pasture. Then we get the whole spiel on what we should consider for our annual Herd Health. After that we can call in if we have a problem and the office will 'prescribe' what they think we should use, or if we ask for a specific med they will ask what it is for. That's all great, but on the downside, our closest Vet is an hour drive one way. If we have a problem with an animal they want us to bring it in, unless it's down. Ugh!!! Okay getting off topic here. So without a 'relation ship' with a vet you can't get any meds. My suggestion is to pick your Vet and establish that before you need anything. (Speaking of experience) The absolute downside for us though is, if you have a yard dog or barn cats and you want meds for them............ can't get it unless you bring them in. Good luck with bringing in your barn cats. Anyway, ramble ramble ramble, like I've said, we have these laws since a few years and I'm on the fence about it. Some makes sense, i.e. overuse of antibiotics, others not so much. But they have us on the leash that way, mainly financially. [/QUOTE]
