I agree. They were arrested for doing something without a license that as far as I knew, did not require a license.

On the bottle of pretty much every vaccine and antibiotic in my refrigerator it says on the label 'For Veterinary Use Only'.

Does that mean I can be arrested for giving a calf a 7-way shot?
Seems kind of like the same thing.


One of the articles on this included some phrase to the effect that they were "administering vet care to animals other than their own"

I would take that to mean that if you were administering a 7-way shot to your neighbor's cattle and charging him for the service, you'd likely fall into the same category.

But if you're not making a business out of it, and mostly only doing it to your own calves, then you're fine.


If one can not administer a 7 way shot to a neighbor’s calf and charge for that, then there are a ton of folks about to be arrested.


Different subject and I don’t know how it is in other states, in Ohio I don’t need a pesticide applicator’s license if I’m doing my own spraying. Unless I want to buy restricted chemicals, then I need at least a private license. I can do some applications for neighbors occasionally with a private license. If I’m advertising and doing applications as a business, I need a commercial license. Which I have. But I rarely do custom application. I don’t know if these guys got busted for the same reason as that, I don’t know what the laws are for “custom ultrasounds” in Pennsylvania, but it sounds to me like they were warned to stop and they didn’t. I’m interested to see where this goes and what exactly the issue was with what they were doing and if somebody had a personal vendetta against them and caused a stink. We preg check our own sows, we have forever, but we don’t hire out for preg checking sows or giving vet care to neighbors. We can’t even buy penicillin off the shelf anymore here, we have to get it from a vet. I don’t know if that’s an Ohio thing or Federal but I do know they’ve tightened up in the past few years what we can get without a vet. I’ll agree, preg checking doesn’t seem like something you need a vet for. I’m curious if they were giving other diagnosis using ultrasound as well though. Interesting story, if it’s all exactly how it was as was stated in that article it seems like a fair amount of overreach.
