BEWARE OF PROMERIS FLEA AND TICK CONTROL

September 30, 2010 by Tina Evangelista-Eppenstein

to share with the group something that happened to one of my babies. I recently took one of my dogs to Fortpayne Alabama to a vet there. He is an hour from me but, I like the way he interacts with my dogs. While there, I decided to get some Frontline. He explained that he had patients unhappy with that product and began carrying Promeris. I hadn’t heard of this product but felt he wouldn’t carry it if there were problems. I applied the product to seven of my dogs one afternoon. Everyone appeared to be fine however, Banjo(Shepherd/ Collie X) vomited a bit of grass but, that wasn’t alarming to me. I never left the house that night but was upstairs in my office working. When I came down stairs Banjo wasn’t at the hallway door where he always waited for me. I found him in my bedroom laying on his pillow his little head between his paws, his eyes staring. I called for him, no response. My boy was dead. I couldn’t understand what could have happened to my baby? He was only 4 yrs old. Beautiful, healthy, energetic boy. It was a holiday weekend(Sept 3) so I called the crematorium to see if they would allow me to freeze him until I could get over the shock of this and figure out what I wanted to do. It suddenly hit me,the promeris? I called my vet were I purchased this. He agreed that it was very suspicious and requested that I bring Banjo to him for an autopsy. As much as I didn’t want to do this, as a rescuer,I felt it would be irresponsible not to
ProMeris Duo is the only product available from a veterinarian that contains the active flea control ingredient, metaflumizone. This new compound features an exclusive mode of action that attacks fleas’ nervous system by blocking neuronal sodium channels, which results in paralysis and death of the flea. Metaflumizone has never before been used to control fleas and research shows they are readily susceptible. Metaflumizone is proven to control 2 flea species (Ctenocephalides canis and C. felis) and protect against re-infestation for up to six weeks in dogs. ProMeris Duo for dogs can be used as part of a treatment strategy for flea allergy dermatitis.
