Yes they are. This is exactly what they did with the drug that killed my sweet healthy 5-year-old lab 12 years ago. The FDA said they were seeing concerns with labrador retrievers and the drug in 1997 and Pfizer did their "own study" with 23 labradors and said that they all did fine. We got a hold of information in our class-action lawsuit that showed Pfizer knew that this drug was harmful to labradors and their cousins Golden retrievers and they hushed it. My sweet boy didn't even need to be on the drug that killed him. He was misdiagnosed probably because the vet was so focused on prescribing the drug that killed him due to the incentives she was receiving from Pfizer. They are sick sick people.
Thank you so much. It was the most traumatic experience of my life. I was 14 years old and my sweet boy started vomiting blood all over me. I am still traumatized to this day.
Thank you so much! So traumatic. He was the best-behaved dog I have ever had, very sweet and eager to please. My other labs have lived to 15 and 11.5. It just makes me so sad that he didn't get to experience the full life like the other boys, especially having his life taken from an evil company.
Thank you so much! It was so horrible! I thought I would never smile again, three months after he died I got a puppy who saved me. I truly believe he sent him to me.
Rimadyl, Carprofen is the generic. It is being kept alive through tradenames and there are a lot of different names for the same drug. Unfortunately, I do not know all the names they have for it so I do not give my dogs any NSAID's period. I know it can be lethal in other breeds as well. I think labs and goldens are who it is most commonly prescribed to which is why they have the highest rates of adverse effects.
Thank you so much! I feel so bad for him too, he was the sweetest boy. He was very shy but he was really beginning to come out of his shell before he died. I really hope that he someday finds a puppy body and finds his way back to me so he can get the experience of a full life, 5 years old is way too young.
I have not trusted Pfizer and their vaccines since the early 2000s when they pushed for a vaccine to West Nile Virus for horses.
Hundreds of thousands of horse owners dutifully injected their beloved animals to
”keep them safe “.
Breeders paid the biggest price in sterile stallions and thousands of mares miscarried or gave birth to deformed or stillborn foals.
People complained to Pfizer and yet if you spoke Pfizer reps they would say they have no complaints or proof on record of any problems.
So glad your horse was okay! The drug that killed my yellow lab fried his kidneys and liver in 8 days. The vet told us it was due to an underlying kidney issue so we had a necropsy done which showed toxicity from the drug, no signs of underlying kidney diseases.
Yup it is so bad. This was a drug not a vaccine for the dogs. But it is a drug that is not even approved for humans because it is too dangerous for them. We trusted our vet, we didn't know back then. Pfizer did settle a multimillion-dollar lawsuit for the drug that killed my lab and then the drug got put right back on the market. They are a disgusting company. I know there was another huge lawsuit against Pfizer for ProHeart which is a heartworm injection for dogs. It killed my friend's dog. What is even scarier is that I know so many people who have lost their pets to Pfizer drugs and couldn't wait to get their gene therapy.
It USED to be approved for humans, they say until 1998....but I know for a fact I gave it to patients in a nursing home after 2000. They used it for arthritis.
yeah I know it used to be approved for humans but it isn't but it is no longer approved cause it is too dangerous for humans which is why I say it is not approved for humans.
I am so sorry to hear that! Labs and goldens are my favorites! My yellow lab started limping out of the blue with both of his hind legs. No injury or anything. The vet was like well he is a lab so he probably tore both of his ACLs despite having normal exams and normal imaging. She was so hyperfocused on the ACL diagnosis so she could prescribe Rimadyl. When he was dying we found out he had Lyme, that is what caused the limping, it is very common in our area. A cheap bottle of antibiotics would have gotten him better.
Rimadyl, Carprofen is the generic. It is being kept alive through tradenames and there are a lot of different names for the same drug. Unfortunately, I do not know all the names they have for it so I do not give my dogs any NSAID's period.
Yup! They were both on Rimadyl. Pfizer makes that shit? My Goldens back legs just stopped working one day. Literally like she was walking the day before than all of a sudden she was paralyzed in her back legs.
OMG that is awful! but yes, they did sell the manufacturing to Zoetis though but they were the ones that started the evil drug. I am so sorry that happened to your golden. That is so scary. Mine just started vomiting blood and his kidneys and liver failed. I do know one of the side effects is paralysis. I have heard a lot of flea and tick meds are horrible too. My breeder says that frontline is the safest. I have zero trust in pet drugs and my trust with vets is pretty low too, always pushing us to neuter our dogs too young. Our health guarantee from the breeder is void if we neuter before 2, I prefer not to neuter my boys at all because there aren't many health benefits and I am a responsible dog owner.
Rimadyl (Carprofen generic) there are a lot of trade names and unfortunately I do not know them all, so I avoid NSAID's completely with my dogs.
My 5-year-old yellow lab started limping in his hind legs out of the blue. No injury. The vet was hyperfocused on the diagnosis of bilateral torn ACLs despite having a normal exam and no injury which is highly unlikely in a young dog. She was so focused on the ACL diagnosis because she wanted to have an excuse to prescribe Rimadyl to get her checks from Pfizer. When he was dying after being on the drug for 8 days we found out he had Lyme disease but his vet never tested for that. His case presented like a typical lyme case according to the emergency vet, very upsetting it was missed. All he would have needed was a bottle of antibiotics to make him better but it was too late after his kidneys and liver failed. They said organ failure was due to an underlying condition but the necropsy proved that it was the drug that killed him.

I'm sorry.
Thank you so much. It was the most traumatic experience of my life. I was 14 years old and my sweet boy started vomiting blood all over me. I am still traumatized to this day.
I'm sorry. What a horrendous experience
Thank you so much! So traumatic. He was the best-behaved dog I have ever had, very sweet and eager to please. My other labs have lived to 15 and 11.5. It just makes me so sad that he didn't get to experience the full life like the other boys, especially having his life taken from an evil company.
So sorry, I can’t imagine how bad that must have been for you. Hugs.
Thank you so much! It was so horrible! I thought I would never smile again, three months after he died I got a puppy who saved me. I truly believe he sent him to me.
What was the drug called?
Rimadyl, Carprofen is the generic. It is being kept alive through tradenames and there are a lot of different names for the same drug. Unfortunately, I do not know all the names they have for it so I do not give my dogs any NSAID's period. I know it can be lethal in other breeds as well. I think labs and goldens are who it is most commonly prescribed to which is why they have the highest rates of adverse effects.
That is terrible. I feel so bad you had to endure that. Horrible.
Thank you so much! I feel so bad for him too, he was the sweetest boy. He was very shy but he was really beginning to come out of his shell before he died. I really hope that he someday finds a puppy body and finds his way back to me so he can get the experience of a full life, 5 years old is way too young.

We had a horse who had facial paralysis after that vax. Thank God it was temporary
Christ.. They even gave horses Bells Palsy..
Glad your horse was okay . I haven’t used Pfizer products since. Yes I have a long and crabby memory .

What drug? I had a lab and golden that both died at ages they should not have.
