AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I LOST MY BEAUTIFUL, LOVING GOLDEN RETRIEVER, HUNTER, TO PROHEART6 BACK ON OCT. 16, 2003. HE WAS 4 YRS, 2 MONTHS OLD AND IT WA A NIGHTMARE.
JUST ABOUT 10 MONTHS AFTER HIS DEATH THE FDA HAD FORT DODGE PULL PROHEART6 FROM THE MARKET BECAUE IT WAS KILLING FAR TO MANY DOGS, AND THOUSANDS AND THOSANDS OF OTHERS ENDED UP WITH MEDICAL PROBLEMS. SOME PEOPLE LOST 2 DOGS, SOME LOST ONE ONE AND HAD ANOTHER ALMOST LOST. ONE IN COCLOR TOOK ALL 3 OF HERS IN THE SAME DAY AND IN 2 MONTHS, ONE WAS DEAD FROMLIVER DAMAGE, ONE FROM AIAH, AND THE 3RD IS STILL ON MEDS TO THIS DAY, 9 YEARS LATER, DUE TO AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE. MY HUNTER HAD THE LIVER DAMAGE (DRUG INDUCED NECROSIS IS WHAT THE HISTOPATH REPORT SAID) AND AIHA.
WELL, IT WAS OFF THE MARKET FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AND THEN BROUGHT BACK AFTER BEING "REFORMULATED". HOWEVE, ALL OF OF US WHO LOST OR ALMOST LOST A DOG/DOGS TO IT DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE. ONE LADY, LAURYNN, WHO ALMOST LOST HER PUG, BLACK VELVET, STARTED A SITE CALLED BEWARE PROHEART6, BUTY FORT DODGE LAWYERS CAME AFTER HER TELLING HER TO SHUT IT DOWN. SO SHE JUST REDID IT AND CALLED IT DOGSADVERSE REACTIONS. BUT SHE ALSO EXTENED IT TO COVER ALL DRUGS AND ANYTHING DANGEROUS TO OUR BELOVED DOGS.
WELL, THIS WAS POSTED ON HER FB DOGS ADVERSE REACTIONS SITE TODAY AND I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT INFOR FOR ANY THINKING ABOUT USING PROHEART6.
