Hi Jen,

The article looks great. I have a couple of things to
add because of my experience with the drug.

I recently put my rats on Vib-T because of an outbreak
of the sniffles. Unfortunately, it didn't help
because the problem wasn't myco, so I can't attest to
it's effectiveness. However, my vet did tell me that
the stuff begins to lose effectiveness within 24 hours
after the glass module is opened. Her information
comes from Dr. Natalie Antinoff, another vet in
Houston, who interned at the clinic in New York that
Jane Adamo uses.

Also, according to my vet, the stuff cannot be put in
another container to be saved--once the bottle is
opened, the countdown to ineffectiveness begins, and
that's pretty much it. Because of this, she couldn't
just sell me a portion of it for the few rats who were
sniffly--she had to sell me the entire module, which
was over $100. She recommended I just treat all my
rats with it--one module easily covered 10 rats. The
following week, I had to buy another module for all of
them. Expensive, yes, but if it prevents even two
myco outbreaks, I've saved money.
