I'm glad to hear your vet has reported this. My vet did the same. I
hope all of the vets who see an unusual number of reactions will report
them. Pet owners cannot make the report. It has to come from the vet.

A couple of other people provided their information to me on
serial/batch #, etc. and I gave this information to my vet. From what
I have received, and my vet's information, it seems to be different
batches. Because of this, my vet thinks it may possibly be the adjunct.
