    I'm a little worried personally of people just going straight to the f10 and not realizing the severity of that particular Ri, or thinking the f10 is a miracle drug. It's not. While I have seen this work for slight cases of Ris. I have also seen folks that didn't bother to get a vets input and went straight for the f10 and their animals got much worse and died.
    To me this is the same as someone getting ahold of baytril off of the internet and home treating their snake for an Ri. There is a reason why it's important for people get cultures done when their animal has an Ri. I've noticed more recently that some strains of Ris are more resistant to baytril and other abos.
    This is from people and vets just assigning abos. The virus become resistant to these drugs and then we have bigger problems. This will happen with the f10 and then what?
    I personally think its dangerous to out and say hey here's how we treat Ris, just use this amazing product. I did watch the video on that btw. While I agree that bhb knows what they are doing and im sure they have enough combined knowledge in that business. Not everyone is bhb. There are some people that SHOULD NOT self diagnose their animals and their are Ris that SHOULD be treated with abos. F10 should be used cautiously.

    * I'm not trying to call bhb out all I'm saying is I feel it was a little dangerous for a large breeder to put that out on the web without something saying that a vet is still necessary for the unknowledged person. People take what folks like that say as gold and the word of God, there are people right now that instead of going to the vet are going to be nebulizing for this pop or crackle here that wad of mucus there, and I ask again then what?
