Re: RC: strongid daily

["Libby O'Quinn" <masndixn@hotmail.com>]

I have my horses on Strongid daily. Through my vets office the makers of 
strongid have a program that both my horses are enrolled in. I have to 
purchase the wormer through my vet (documentation) but the makers will pay 
for any colic related problems under this program....including any surgery. 
I don't think a company would offer such a program if there was a real 
problem from this daily wormer. Sounds to me like a good way to go out of 
business if there was any thing behind colic and strongid.
