This is reposted with permission: ***************************************** I just read this on a list that many vet techs subscribe to. QUOTE Hi my name is Deb and I am a registered Vet Tech here in Missouri. I work at a wonderful clinic that supports what I do. We recently had a product seminar that we were invited to by the rep to learn more about the product Revolution. The Pfizer vet at the meeting made the product sound wonderful especially for fleas and earmites. She also said that it could be used on ferrets and gave us the dosage. Several weeks ago I decided to try it on four of my ferrets that had earmite problems. I had six ferrets at the time , all healthy and happy. About 10 days to two weeks later all four were sick and now three of the four are DEAD!!!! When the last two got real bad it finally dawned on me what had happened. All six are in the same cage and only these four got ill. Nothing had changed and all got the same food and enviroment. The last one to die was sent to The University of Missouri Vet School Diagnostic Lab for necropsy. They so far can not find a reason for the death.The toxicology test is still pending. Please if any of you got the same information at a seminar do not listen to what they said. This product can KILL. I am concerned about using it on anything else and am considering throwing the rest of my free samples away. This price is to high. So far there has been no response from Pfizer except to say that there is no proof that the product did this. I would say that if three of four animals died that is pretty suspicious. The last ferret has gotten support treatment and is doing better but is still somewhat ataxic. Please spread the word do not use it on ferrets. Thanks for listening.
