PetArmour disappears
http://www.merial.com/PressRoom/Pres...t-21,-201.aspx Aug 22, 2011 Duluth, Ga, USA - - Merial announced today that the Court-ordered seizure of Velcera's PetArmorT Plus products inventory in the U.S. went into effect on August 21, 2011. On June 21, 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia ruled that Merial's U.S. patent covering FRONTLINE Plus® is valid and that the PetArmorT Plus products infringe the patent. buglady take out the dog before replying |

PetArmour disappears
My oh my..... I wondered why I didn't see Pet Armour on the shelf the
other night when I was in WalMart. They had plenty of the Advantage products. I had only heard the last few words of what was probably the news release on the Pet Armour issue.... so wasn't aware of the outcome. Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia, USA |

I don't think it had to do with anything like the above, but mostly a lack of sales. Too bad too, as I like it better than Vanectyl-P, for it's lack of side effects. My vet says he can still get the drug (dexamethasone) in powder form, so could probably make up some capsules if he had to. |

PetArmour disappears - now vet drugs

My vet says he can still get the drug (dexamethasone) in powder form, so could probably make up some capsules if he had to. ...............there's a shortage of some veterinary drugs (and human ones!). Two listed here are Veterinary insulin and iron dextran. http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/.../ucm248095.htm .............Not to mention the drug used to treat heartworm, Immiticide, though I wouldn't go that direction anyway. In this case the FDA is to blame; http://news.vin.com/VINNews.aspx?articleId=19471 "Immiticide availability has been shaky since early last year, when Merial, the animal health arm of Sanofi, reported that its U.S. supplier could no longer obtain the product's active ingredient, and the FDA was hesitant to allow Merial's overseas supplier to fill American orders." .............In some cases a compounding pharmacy can get the meds for you: http://monumentpharmacy.com/blog/why...shortages.html ...............More trouble with vet drugs in the future? Pfizer ate Fort Dodge Animal Health and now seeks to dump it's animal division. Soon it will be a one source vet drugs and there will be little choice: http://news.vin.com/VINNews.aspx?articleId=19080 buglady take out the dog before replying |

I still see Pet Armour products on local pet stores. Is that illegal?
