[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1306730, member: 19938"] While I am on my soap box I might as well finish the laundry. :) Antibiotics are Perscription only in human use for a reason other than "just government control." It is so an educated person, (a physician) can determine the severity and the need for use and to minimize abuse and misuse. Correct me if I am wrong, but there are many livestock owners that do not know what is wrong with an animal, (much less what drug to use) that go ahead and hit them with a "big gun" antibiotic "just to be safe." Heck, we have to ask people here every day if their cow has a temp. Right? Now compare that to a physician that has spent 8-10 years in school, a lab that runs the culture and sensitivity on the pus, and the pharmacist that compares the sensitivity results to what drug will work for a given bacteria. I swear (on my soap box) that I am against any more regulations. However I do see where this one is coming from. [/QUOTE]
