This is a story about a 6 year old, very active dog, that died after his vet gave him a shot that was pulled from the market in 2004. I am posting this this story was posted at the end of May, very recent.

Oh my goodness that was really sad. If that drug has so mcuh notoriety behind it it shouldn't even be offered in normal circumstances. It clearly needs more development.

I find it silly to release any medication that can cause more harm that good, especially at that percentage. Why release a medication for an animal that can cause death?!

Money.



Also reminds me, don't buy cheap flea medicines like Hartz, Sergent's Gold, or whatever you buy at Wal-Mart or Target. These flea sprays and droppers are full of pesticides that can be harmful to your dog or cat. It can cause neurological disorders and even death. There are many many cases of cats and dogs having problems from these flea medicines. :/ http://tinytimmy.org/ to read more if you are interested.

Maybe this is the reason my cat suddenly got sick and died within a week's time.

Ugh i just read about this toothbrush shaped dog treat that was recalled due to its inability to be digested. It caused lots of deaths due to constipation and bowel obstruction. such terrible ends for any living things.

Why would a company even make a tooth brush shaped dog treat? My biggest fear is that a dog would have a toy that looks like a shoe or something, then begin thinking that he/she can play with/eat any shoe.

It's a treat meant to apparently "clean" dogs' teeth whilst they chewed on it.

Instead I've heard it leaves rather unclean green poo for some dog owners XD
