I agree with your points, Betty.  I also call in the experts for anything 
having to do with bones, way beyond my talent !  I used to do the annual 
boosters for my dogs, but after my 95 lb. German Shepherd cried when I gave 
him a shot a few years ago I got soft  .  We now go to the vet for the dogs 
annual , and I get any prescriptions I need for the livestock at that time.  
My dog  vet knows that I do most of the medical stuff here so when I explain 
what I need and why, he gives me a script.  I then send it in with my vaccine 
order.  I live very close to Tufts Veteranary School,  where they get $100 
for you to walk in with an animal, and then the treatment costs begin !
