[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1359963, member: 5612"] The way I understand it, all medications meant to be added to drinking water will require a prescription (ie. sulfadimethoxine, etc...), instead of a VFD. I was confused about that until I read up on it a bit more the other day. The only feed we use that will be affected will be our mineral. I'm kinda dreading it because the year we thought we'd be smart and save a few bucks by using unmedicated mineral we quickly became semi-experts on footrot. We live in a place where it can take weeks for a few inches of rain to disappear. Which means more suffering cattle, and more treatments with expensive, higher powered antibiotics. About the only thing we use here is Draxxin. Seems counterproductive to me, but who am I to criticize those who know better? I absolutely don't blame the vets for this. I sympathize with them and think a lot of them were blindsided about the same as everybody else. That's a lot of new liability that they're going to have to take on. [/QUOTE]
