I have a question for the Doctors. I was going through my
vaccination records today and I noticed that apparently the mail
order company had substituted Galaxy-D for my order for Fromm-D last
summer. I never noticed it because I had no idea that they were
discontinuing Fromm-D and the packaging is exactly the same. I had
vaccinated two litters of kits with Galaxy-D by mistake. I'm going
to revaccinate them with Fervac-D and I was wondering if 1 shot will
be enough or should I give them a booster in 3 weeks? (They all
received 3 shots of Galaxy-D and they're six months old now). Also,
does anyone have the address for Solvay? I am going to voice my
displeasure over the way they handled the vaccine switch. The mail
order companies I spoke with have told me that they said the
vaccines were the same only the name had been changed and that's why
they were substituting without telling the customers. I also plan on
writing Omaha Vaccine who sent me the vaccine without even
mentioning the substitution. It would be different if the packaging
had been changed but it is EXACTLY the same. I also run a shelter
and will have to contact everyone who adopted a ferret or purchased
a kit from me this past summer. I am not happy about this to say the
least. Thanks in advance for any information.
