I went to Tractor Supply in Bessemer the other day - I asked for their dog vaccine 5-1. I asked for the 5-1 and was told by Bessemer Tractor Supply "we have 10-1". I said, "What?" and he repeated they have 10-1. I took that to mean they had no 5-1. I went ahead and bought the 10-1.
I once had a dog allergic to Lepto and the vet spent the night with him babysitting him to pull him through. I no longer want to give Lepto to any dog I have. I asked a vet about giving the 10-1 and he said he would not give a 10-1 because it has "too much stuff in it". I mentioned it had Lepto and he said, yes, probably 5 strains of Lepto. I called another local Tractor Supply and he was surprised at what I was told. He said they never sell a 10-1 - they never have any requests for it and they have tons of 5-1 in stock.
I understand they had been having "trouble" at this Tractor Supply. I said, "I can see why" and the person at the other business laughed a knowing laugh.
I have been trying all morning to call the Tractor Supply in Bessemer and see what they say when I ask if they have the 5-1, but there is no answer to their phone.
will add that I enjoy going into the store, looking all "all the stuff". Love the "old hardware look" but I'll be careful when I ask for something that is not out on the shelf. read more
