Strange that there is such diversity in Vet's opinions on a fairly simple condition to substantiate?
His math is dubious at best. But besides that, if he has been scoping horses for 30 years....and 99% of the horses he is scoping are on Lasix, and thus 99% of horses don't bleed, what point exactly is he trying to make? That it works?

How could he possibly know that less than 10% of horses actually need it if 99% of his test samples are on it?
