I just read this on another site I belong to and this was her post:
This was just sent to me in an email and I believe it is valid. I went to the Country Supply website and they have pulled this wormer from their stock.
This is from an Andalusian club list. If you bought the "on sale" Bimectin Wormer from County Supply catalogue, DON'T USE IT! Not worth the risk!
-------------------------------
<<<We have had quite a tragedy at our ranch the last few days, and after talking to
my attorney she gave me the go ahead to tell others about it. I wormed 5 of my
horses with BIMECTIN wormer on WEDNESDAY, when I went out to give them breakfast
on THURSDAY, they looked sick. My vet was contacted. Long story short, by
FRIDAY they where down and could not get up, and by saturday and sunday they DIED.
The other horses wormed the same day with a DIFFERENT wormer are FINE. These horses
had the same feed, water, hay etc, the ONLY difference in the horses was the WORMER.
My vet after seeing them told me he HAS seen this BEFORE. A MASSIVE overdose of
wormer. Normally a batch of wormer made too strong at the factory. THIS IS ONLY
A SUSPICION ON MY PART. I AM NOT ACCUSING THE COMPANY, I AM ONLY PUTTING OUT MY STORY TO LET PEOPLE MADE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. The necropsies will be performed on the horses and the wormers that I still have from the case with the same lot numbers will be going to independent labs for testing. We lost, 2 young stallions, 1 PREG mare (due in June) 1 yearling, and 1 weanling is still breathing as I type but
we expect her to die. Kerry>>>>
This was on another forward I just recieved about that same wormer, thought I would pass it along for more info.:
Per Bimection manufacturer the lot number is 5J019. Return the
dewormers for a full refund to the store where they were purchased.
Please check your lot numbers and follow through with vet it you have already given the meds
