I didn't know that, my vet was still treating just a few months ago. That is awful, why would any company want to remove something that is medically working and needed? People pay lots of money to have their pets treated so they surely were making money from it.
They didn't remove it because they wanted to. They had to because one of the ingredients, as I understand it, has become unavailable from another country. All this out sourcing causes problems in every field and will eventually be our demise. First for our animals and then for us.
It has only been about 6 months since this happened. Several of my friends are vets and told me about it. I have not researched it to confirm anything though as I have no interest at this point. Just passing along info I received from very reliable sources.
I am sure the companies will rally around and find other ways to get more immiticide made or bring out a new product but I think a new product may take years unless they were already working on one but there wasn't any info known on that.
Meantime, a lot of vets had stored back some cartons of immiticide for use or are going the slow route with Revolution or such.
We have several vet techs on here that may be in the know. Hopefully we will hear from one of them.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know this. I do know lots of dog rescue people use other means of treating heartworm positive dogs because of the cost (some use horse meds).
