[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1839374, member: 39018"] So far I've never had any difficulty with getting the Cap-Chur disposables. Valley Vet has always gotten 'em out right away. Price is a little lower direct from Cap-Chur, unless shipping is more... I USED TO THINK that a dart gun was a luxury tool... not anymore. Wouldn't want to be without it if running critters out in pasture. If you always have them in a pen where you can run them into a crush nearby, that might be different..., but even then, why would you want to have to handle that animal if it's possible to treat without it? That being said, if I had a bad outbreak of something and had to treat a big number... I'd run them through the corral and chute... because of the expense for darts. The thing is, often if you don't have the easy option of treating one "right away" (because of having to run them all to a corral and chute somewhere), that's how things can quickly get out of hand, to where you DO end up having to treat a whole lot more critters. When you have a gun, you can treat 'em quickly as you first spot 'em... and then it won't result in an "outbreak" nearly as easily. Better for the animal to get treated right away when necessary too, for a faster recovery, and less "down time". [/QUOTE]
