Email on Valuheart:
I would like to report
another Heartworm medicine that I believe is toxic.
June 15, 2004
I took my perfectly healthy 7 yr old lab in to have
his teeth cleaned. The vet did a complete blood work
up first. He was fine. The vet recommended I start him
on a heartworm preventative medicine.

I bought and administered ONE tablet of Valuheart, which
I ordered on-line from PetShed.com. The product is called
Valuheart Brown (a generic Heartgard Brown alternative).
Each tablet contains 240mg IVERMECTIN.

When my dog woke up, he was acting fidgety and totally
erratic for about 1 minute. Then he fell to the floor
and had a seizure, which lasted about 2-3 minutes. He
was blind for several hours afterward and disoriented
for days. He is much better now, but, not 100%.
I talked to a REP at
PetShed, who assured me that their product could not
have caused the seizure. I talked to my VET, who concurred
with PetShed's assessment.
I have no doubt that
is what caused my dog's seizure.
Someone needs to look
into Valuheart- Lot 46562
