Just got home to check the labels on my Galaxy-D .  Ordered them earlier
this year, so they should have current information.  They say 'Manufactured
by Fort Dodge Laboratories Inc ' and 'Distributed by Schering-Plough Animal
Health Corp, Omaha NE' -- its entirely possible that Fort Dodge produces
more than one Version of canine distemper -- I would recommend to anyone
that isn't sure-- ASK!
