proHeart6 killed my 4 year old golden retriever on oct. 16, 2003. It brought on autoimmune hemolytic anemia and liver damage, two of the leading reactions that caused deaths. It was suppose to be so safe, Fort Dodge denied it was causing all these reactions and deaths. now they are saying it i reformulat and the residue that was causing the reactions/deaths last time has been removed. It is so safe. But isn’t that what they said last time? Many of use felt our dogs were used as “lab rats”. Wnat to know more about it? Go to http://www.dogsadversereactions.com and click on the moxidectin section and read the stories under memorials and survivos 9and some of the survivors are still on drugs to this day, some have died.

“…but I think this means that we are paying for the privilege of doing “beta testing” for Fort Dodge Animal Health.”

Bingo!!! It’s what I’ve been saying for years about Ft. Dodge. They use the market to test new products. Now they’ve simply formalized the process.

However, the heparin was the brand name stuff. I am afraid of all prescriptions, not just the generics. Got to check on everything.

Yeah, same thing in the U.S. European countries were also affected.

Good point, CLH. We had a major Heparin recall in Canada recently, the source was
China and they used a filler which mimics the molecular structure of Heparin but has the opposite effect.

And the ones who got burned, besides researchers, were major pharmaceutical companies.

It’s easy, repeat after me: “Fort Dodge?” No, thanks.

Yeah, but what happens when the drugs that are working for us, the well tested ones, are all produced overseas with no oversight? I’m very leery of four dollar prescriptions these days.
