Several years ago my now 9 year old cocker spaniel was prescribed Metacam
for minor arthritis . Metacam is apparently the drug of choice by vets
for this condition.

Be careful about speaking for the whole profession.


INDEEDY. NOT ALL veterinarians are lyin animal
murderin frauds an scumbags like yourself, sharon.

It's kindly of you to defend them~!

Metacam is NOT the drug of choice for all vets.


RIGHT. Of curse not.

You make more money and other perks off of Rimadyl:

Email: (Pluffmud97)

I sincerely hope your dog will survive. This drug
has been on the market for over a year now - the
Pfizer Co. that makes this drug has been allowing the
deaths of hundreds of dogs to occur because they will
not make public the many serious and deadly side effects.

The drug was never tested properly - it was not tested
long enough - the dosage prescribed in the U.S. is higher
than that prescribed in England where Rimadyl has been
used for a much longer time.

There are many people who have owned older dogs and put
them on Rimadyl as a last resort to help ease the pain
of arthritis. When the poor dog dies, does the owner
question the use of Rimadyl?

Probably not. They just think their dog died of old age.

Pfizer does not care - they care about the money they make
from the drug! Vets don't care - they care about keeping
the drug manufacturers happy and looking out for each other.

The drug reps don't care - they tell the vets what the
vets want to hear so the vets will buy the drugs that
they sell at an incredible markup

Only the dogs suffer - if your dog is on Rimadyl you had
better make your vet do blood workups, etc. - or your dog
may join the other poor animals who have suffered liver
problems, severe hemorrhaging, perforate ulcers and god
knows what other effects from this drug.

========

Bigger profit margin than on aspirin!!!.

I'm sorry about your situation, but please don't jump into the
"vets-are-in-it-for-the-money" bandwagon.

Yeah. Many of the dog lovers here abHOWETS got the same problem.

please let me know, thank you, Kelly.. and Jake.


Torn ACLs are CAUSED BY STRESS from MISHANDLING

Torn ACLs don't heal on their own


Sez YOU. Below you'll find FIVE CASE HISTORIES stating
EXXXACTLY PRECISELY OPPOSITE of what you sez.

You're in the BUSINESS of misleadin veterinary clients to
increase profits through unnecessary inapupriate dangerHOWES
surgical mutilations and pharmacutical company scam drugs
which comprise 50% of your unethickal profits.

You sound sincere and caring but you AIN'T NUTHIN but a
goddamened liar, fraud, thief, animal abuser and murderer
and professional apologist. THAT'S HOWE COME you manage
your veterinry malpracticioner husband's veterinary malpractice.

and the longer you wait, the more the dog will start over relying on the
other leg and put it at risk for joint disease


That's sheer idiocy. HOWE COME we don't see the same
"phenomenon" in three legged dogs, sharon aka sharon
too, veterinary malpractice apologist / obsfucationinst?

YOU'RE A LIAR.

ACL DIS-EASE is the #1 surgical mutilation in the USA after
unnecessary inapupriate surgical sexual mutilations. The ACL
tear / rupture is an EMOTIONAL STRESS INDUCED AUTO-
IMMUNE DIS-EASE CAUSED BY your veterinary malpractice
and "traditional" training and handling as recommended by your
veterinary malpractice.

and possibly another torn ACL.


IN MOST CASES the other leg FAILS for the SAME REASON
the first leg failed. Dogs are NATURAL ATHLETES sharon
too, veterinary malpractice office manager and veterinary
malpractice apologist and mrs. veterinary malpracticioner.

THERE AIN'T NO REASON HOWE COME a dog engaging
in normal activities should become CRIPPLED OTHER THAN
IATROGENIC ASSAULT including garbage commercial diets
recommended by the client's veterinary malpracticioner.

As for the Rimadyl,


"Also, these Vets receive perks from the drug manufacturer
Pfizer when they buy Rimadyl to sell to animal owners. Vets
could get points from Pfizer for each Rimadyl purchase they
made; points were redeemable for PalmPilots, Zip Drives, and
other equiptment!"

Date: Mar 14 2000

Since Rimadyl's 1997 launch, the FDA has received reports of
about 1,000 dogs that died or were put to sleep and 7,000 more
that had bad reactions after taking the drug, records and official
estimates indicate.

The FDA says such events are significantly underreported.

My 9 year old female Samoyed was put on the poison
Rimadyl for about 2 weeks for arthritic knee. I read
posts to this group discussing the horrors of the drug.

She was in such pain, I decided to give her a few more
dosages. I should have listened to you wise posters.

For three days my dog had weird yellow urine and yesterday
and today wouldn't eat. I took her to the vet and found out
she now has liver damage and will be in the hospital for as
long as it takes to reverse the damage--IF they are able to.

Cady, our Sammy, was a pretty healthy dog until the Rimadyl.

Now she's on the critical list. The makers of Rimadyl should
be put out of business. They are marketing poison and should
be forced to take it themselves.

Jamie: I know what you are going through - I have been there!

His name was George - he was on Rimadyl less than
30 days before his collapse and subsequent death.

Make up your own minds about this drug. I would
never use it for any of my animals again, ever!

Please let me know how you dog is doing ! I pray he does
not die like my dog (a chocolate lab, named George) did.

I am praying for the safe recovery of your dog.

There are too many people who have lost pets to Rimadyl,
myself included, for you to defend in ANY way the drug
company who produces it!

I challenge you to have the same feelings about
Rimadyl once you have suffered a loss because of it.

Our dog died an agonizing death, and I wouldn't
wish it on _any_ other dog.

One more condescending reply to this newsgroup from

We'll have to disagree on most levels.


As for surviving alone in the wild, it's no more likely to
sirvive *in most cases* domestically. Most people
don't know the first thing about raising wildlife, thus my
recommendation to contact a wildlife rehabilitator.


Your advice to contact a wildlife rehabber was a good one.
Your advice to release a juvenile back to the wild sucked rocks.

Your assertion that the mother would smell the human
scent on the baby and reject it was ridiculously wrong.

Finally, the bit about parasites and organisms. While it's
true that wild animals carry both, so do you. Unless one
plans to eat the dropping or some such, it is not an issue.
Most likely, the worst parasite problem you're likely
to get is a flea bite.


There are plenty of parasites that are zoonotic diseases that
cross species into humans. Hookworms and whipworms
which are hard to get rid of to name two.

Leptospirosis is on the rise and since it is contracted through
contact with urine, more and more cases are seen in facilities
that care for stray animals.

Not at any time did I demean the OP by assuming that they
would be eating feces. But we have to remember that some
homes have children and toddlers in them. There was a case
of a child dying from parasites licked from firewood brought
in by the parents. And one does not have to ingest all parasites
to be affected. How do we know that the OP's home does not
have an ill person in it - one whose immune system is not
compromised thus being more prone to some parasites?

Advising someone who is NOT trained in wildlife rehabilitation
to take a wild creature into their homes (taking care of them might
as well be permission to take them into the home - because it is
inevitable that they will) could be detrimental.


Oh, please. How far do you intend to reach to make a case for catching
hookworms from an opossum? It's true, it _COULD_ happen, esp. if
there's a child in the home who likes to lick things, and whose immune
system is compromised by radiation therapy. There's also a finite
probability that there's an inbound asteroid that has the opossum's
name on it.

Or a Bigfoot who got bitten by the opossum's mom, and is out to
get even. Stick with the higher probabilities. It does no good to
give advice based on 1000-year possibilities.

Even the National Spossum Society recommends
leacing the critters alone:


"What to do if you encounter an opossum.... NOTHING.
http://www.opossum.org/#Membership


Let's be clear: In my post, you will not find _ANY_ suggestion that
the OP take the opossum into his home and keep it as a pet. And,
indeed, the best thing one can do for an opossum is to leave it alone,
just as the NOS says.

_HOWEVER_ -- you seem to have missed the part where
something has already been done. The baby is _ALREADY_
in his house. His cat brought it there. The issue, now, is how
to keep it alive until help arrives.

Seems to me the OP only has two choices: Either keep it
warm and feed it decent food, until he can get it to a rehabber,
or take your advice and relegate it to certain death.

I have used half Engevita Yeast and half Flake yeast
with Garlic Powder, not tablets along with Dulce or
Kelp powder for fleas for years on my dogs and cats
in their diet daily, and along with absolutelty no
fleas, they love the taste.


Often if a dog comes to visit and they are not hungry
due to being left without their owner and are avoiding
their food, just putting the mix on their food makes
them very interested in eating. My friends have used
this mixture for years and also no fleas.


I certainly agree with Jerry that chemical so called
solutions to fleas are only of help to the chemical
companies and the pockets of vets to be fattened.


Also Dr. Pitcairn is a fabulous source of info. But
when it comes to fleas it is the above mixture I
mentioned that for 20 years has been my solution
and my friends solutions also.


Remember it must be powder and organic garlic not
just any powder on a shelf with additives.


Stay away from drugs for yourselves and for dogs and cats.


Be Well, and love your animals by being nonviolent with them
and that means using methods of training like Jerry's and the
First Nations along with no chemical garbage as so called
nutrition or help with medical problems like fleas.

I think it's best to think of garlic as it relates to fleas
like sprinkling sage around the edges of a kitchen to keep
ants out. The ants are still there - alive - procreating,
just like the fleas will be. Further, fleas can cause issues
with the humans in the house. It's better to ask your vet
about a product that will kill all stages of the fleas' life
cycle.

Kelly Cruzan On 3/15/00 wrote:


I asked my Vet for a Heartworm preventive for my 2 year
old Australian Shepherd, Sage. They recommended Revolution.
It was applied on 3/15/00. On 3/20/00 Sage developed a cough,
but she was otherwise fine.


She had had a bath at the Vet on 3/15/00 also, so I decided
to watch her for further symptoms. On 3/23/00 she was fine
until late afternoon when she became quiet and didn't want
to play.


By 7pm that night, she had trouble opening her left eye and
whimpered when she jumped down from the couch or bed. In
the past, Sage always had a tendency to bruise easily.


She had sensitive skin and worry an area until it bruised.
She had no trouble with her blood clotting and had been
previously spayed.


She now had bruising on her body. When I took her to the
Vet, he asked if she had been in rat poison. I informed
him that she was an inside dog and only went out to play
with the kids and to use the bathroom. My neighbors have
pets and do not put out poisons. They also asked if she
had had a blow to the head because there was blood in the
whites of her eyes that was not there yesterday.


I stated that she was not hit in the head. I asked if it
could be the Revolution and was informed that it could not
be. I told my vet that was the only thing that Sage had
been exposed to.


He did a CBC and her platelets were 87 and WBC count was
27,000. her Hct was 37. He treated her for infection and
rat poisoning and sent us home.


Within 3 hours she was falling over. I rushed her back
to the Vet and he kept her until 5pm that afternoon. I
brought her home after they said she was doing better.


At 6pm she was again falling over and I called my Vet back
and was informed to bring her back the next day. By 11pm,
she was bleeding from her nose and had vomited with streaks
of bright red blood. My husband and I drove her to an ER
clinic in Savannah, GA and was told that it was either a tick
born disease or rat poisoning or a blow to the head.


I again asked if could be the Revolution and was informed no.


They kept her and treated her as my vet. When I called at
6am, I was informed that she was having seizures but she was
otherwise stable. I was worried about a subdural hematoma
and talked with my Vet.


He suggested I take Sage to Charleston, SC to see a Specialist.
She arrived there at 4:30pm. When I gave her history, I again
asked if it could be the Revolution and was informed no. Later
that night Sage continued to have seizures and she bled into the
orbits of her eyes, but they said their was still hope.


At 6:45am they called and said Sage had arrested and
was on a ventilator. We asked that they let her go.
This has been devastating to my family.


We loved that dog. She was a family member. At 10am, the
clinic called and asked for an autopsy. They informed me
that another dog had died last month there, with symptoms
the same as Sage. The dog was an inside dog and the only
thing different was that the owner had started Revolution.


The dog died of low platelets and intracrannial
hemorrhage just like Sage.


The vet in Charleston called the Revolution people and
they are paying for Sages autopsy. They also paid for
the other dogs autopsy. That autopsy showed low platelets
and intracrannial hemorrhage from a toxin. (? Revolution
was the only toxin the owners had given).


I will not know the results of the autopsy for a month,
but I believe it was the Revolution. If 2 dogs have died
in the Savannah-Charleston area in the last month, how
many nation wide.


Please spread the word for owners to be careful about
using this drug on their dogs. No dog should suffer
like my Sage suffered.


Thanks for Listening,

My dog has died and I was hoping if I give you the details that you
could shed some light on what could have happened to her. The vet
didn't know and we couldn't face an autopsy. We have talk to a few
professionals who deny Frontline could have been the prbolem.


At 5pm on Monday night, Frontline Plus was applied as per instructions.
By about 6.30-7pm she was showing signs of disorientation, looking
vague (I would call her and she stared blankly at me), fatigue, panting
heavily, a little drool, excessive thirst. No vomiting but a 'hack' a
couple of times. No diarrheoa. No bleeding that we could see.

We phoned 24 hour local vet who said it couldn't be the Frontline so
she would be ok.


We watched her over night, but by morning still very thirsty, fatigued,
vague. Called our vet who said if she was still the same later that day
to bring her in.


My partner was finally able to get off work to check on her at 4pm that
day on the Tuesday.


Temperatures outside were 38c and he found her sitting by the pool gate
(we always left the doors open so she could have stayed inside in the
cool), panting heavily, glassy eyed, drooling, a little foamy in
corners of mouth, tongue blueish under and white on top, gums whiteish.

He got her into the car, by the time he reached the vet 5 minutes away
she was limp. The vet gave her 2 adrenalin shots and got her heart
going again but she died.

If it is any help with diagnosing, she has always been a little
'simple'. We lovingly said she was our down syndrome dog as she hung
her head to the left from birth with her tongue hanging out the left
side of her mouth. She was always a little left sided when walking etc.


She would run and get the ball and drop it straight away then run to
you with nothing.

She would growl when you hugged her and we have never
hurt her for her to be aggressive. We have been told maybe
she had a neurological disorder, does it sound like it to you?

We have Rhubarb in our pool area but don't think she ate any
although this is toxic.

We get poisoned dead rats in the pool area (from other people, we don't
use snail pellets or rat poison ourselves) and found one there the day
after but it wasn't undisturbed, could a 'lick' have killed her?)
Frankly we blame ourselves as it seems too coincidental for it to be
anything but the Frontline Plus.


What do you think the symptoms show?


Any past experiences, thoughts are appreciated,
Thanks in advance
