It is > available thru a vet and not currently on-line. I got ProMeris this > week for my 7 dogs (6 Huskies & 1 Golden-Airedale), and the results > were debilitating for nearly all of them-including me. Since my > incident this week, my vet has pulled it from distribution and alerted > the manufacturer, Fort Dodge. > > Here are my results: Within less than 2 hours after applying, 4 of my > dogs had vomited from 2-4 times, 3 were disoriented and stumbling, 1 > was dragging his back leg, 1 was salivating. I had very similar > symptoms like an allergic reaction-my lips were swollen, eyes very > red, mucous membranes such as eyes, nose, and mouth were stinging. I > was very disoriented-dizzy equilibrium and not able to drive. To make > this a short story-all 7 of my dogs were admitted to the hospital for > veterinarian care, and 3 of them remained for care, IV fluids and > observation for 24 hours. I was in the emergency room. I'm home now > and so are the dogs. We're all feeling much better. Vet bills were > over $2,500 and Fort Dodge is paying for these. Not only can the > product cause this reaction, it has a highly noxious odor that > permeated the house and is just starting to dissipate after 3 days. > > Your dogs/cats might not have the same reaction, but given my > experience-I wanted to help you all become well-educated about the > product. > > Ann Addison > Argenta Toy Poodles > Columbia, South Carolina > canicheaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > **************It's Tax Time!
