[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1744888, member: 38590"] You packed a lot of misinformation into this stretch of your post. Putting antibiotics into prescription status doesn't mean that you will have to call a vet for every sick animal. If you have a relationship with a vet, you'll be able to purchase antibiotics from them just like you would have at a farm supply store. The difference is that they'll be providing some oversight and worthwhile advice to go with it. Farmers want to care for their animals, but many of them overestimate their abilities to diagnose and treat sick animals. I see animals all the time that owners have ineffectively tried to treat on their own with a "shot of penicillin". Heck, plenty of posts on this board offer really bad medical advice. This law isn't going to kill animals. If anything, it may do the opposite by forcing people to talk with someone qualified to give advice about antibiotics. [/QUOTE]
