That poor doberman. A sad and cautionary tale to not push the panic button, but take time to research (not with ChatGPT) and consult with trusted vets before taking action. We all need to ask lots of questions before starting any type of treatment. Our animals depend on us to use common sense and discernment. Thank you for telling that story.

You offer good advice about reading the package inserts for any recommended drugs, especially to see what cautions apply and potential side effects. But I don't believe that checking for approval from the FDA is meaningful. Unfortunately, at this point in time, for myself and many others, FDA approval doesn't inspire any confidence in the safety of a drug.

FDA approved most of the (up to 72+ shots) vaccines on the Childhood Vaccine Schedule, as well as the covid/covidmrna shots which have now been shown to be extremely dangerous and in some cases, deadly.

It doesn't seem that FDA would care any more for animal health than they do for human health.

I agree, FDA approval means nothing. I mentioned that back in 2004, the FDA actually removed the product from the market. Something like that would never happen today.

Yes, you're right. I recall you mentioned that FDA took the product off the market.

How ironic the FDA will issue recalls for tainted strawberries, but allows the re-introduction of ProHeart 6 & 12.
