Re: [RC] WNV and denials - Maggie Mieske

Same thing with feed reps...their job IS after all to sell you THEIR feed
and not very many actually have any kind of degree.  I know of ONE
personally.  The rest generally attend seminars, etc. to learn about the
various feeds that their company manufactures.  I was treated VERY rudely by
Fort Dodge reps last year when I dared to ask questions that even HINTED
that a horse might acquire natural immunity if they contracted WNV...I was
trying to glean information.  I wanted to know why SO MANY shots and then
yearly shots.  I wanted to know about research and what their credentials
and experience was.  At that point, I had not made a decision one way or
another about vaccinating or not vaccinating.  They blew any credibility
with me right there.  They turned an opportunity to educate into an
opportunity to suggest that I was an irresponsible horse owner if I chose
NOT to vaccinate.  I refuse to buy ANY Fort Dodge vaccines... plenty of
other drug companies out there who will be happy to answer my questions
without being rude and arrogant.
