Please move this if it isn't the right section.

Very few afflictions can affect an entire collection... One that I know of is OMPV, if that does happen then no amount of veterinary treatment is going it save it.

One or two for big breeders that require treatment is not a problem....

All of them getting RI, they can treat it themselves, mite outbreak; annoying but easily solved.

ANY virus can decimate a collection in a matter of a month or so if left untreated, not just OPMV.

I totally agree... just citing OMPV as one of those things that vets won't be able to do anything about.
