Pets? What about the rampant use of antibiotics in the factory farm industry? A couple pets aren't going to matter nearly as much as antibiotic resistance in meat and poultry.

Good point. And are those anti-biotics still active when we eat the meat? We should be going to a grass fed beef industry.

Yup. This is so wrong and so many different levels.

Some Vets might keep this a secret but Cats get a kitty cold flu thing sometimes and what works for us is one of these.

You stick the end in the side between the teeth and water them often. Then go get some of this in the little plastic container, best chance they eat.

You can still take them to the Vet if you want but I think you should do what I said also.

80% of all antibiotic use is by industrial agriculture, where they give it to healthy animals as a matter of routine. That's the real threat.
