[QUOTE="Farmhand, post: 89790, member: 1292"] We do as Bama to some extent. Thanks Bama - enjoy reading your posts. I'm not as gutsy as Bama but am gutsier than most around here. We also use LA200 and overmed as directed by vet. First time, I questioned vet about this. Was explained to me that these over-the-counter meds have lighter dosage recommendations so the general public doesn't do drastic harm. Done carefully as a vet recommends can be done safely with better results. He explained it as your aspirin bottle recommends taking 2 tablets for your headache, but if you take 3 tablets for a bad headache, you don't die from it. Over-the-counter meds try to build in safeguards so that someone trying to doctor without a real doctor won't kill by accident. My last words out of the barn are " It'll either cure ya or kill ya. Either way, you're better off than you are now." Surprising how many you cure. I agree a 3% death loss sounds a little high. [/QUOTE]
