This came off the Competitive Trail (CTR) discussion site. Dr O, do you know anything about this?
"Per Bimection manufacturer the lot number is 5J019. Return the dewormers for a full refund to the store where they were purchased.
Off another list:
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"

No this is the first I have heard on this Kathleen but certainly a heads up warning for any members using this product. DON't until this story is either confirmed or debunked.

If you go to the Country Supply Wormer section they have posted a notice on Bimectin and one other generic ivermectin wormer. The notice states that there is a problem with generic ivermectin and they suggest another name brand ivermectin product until the problem is resolved. I recently purchased several cases of Bimectin that I haven't used. I am going to call this morning and see what they have to say. I will post their answer. |

I hope I am right on this, for Kathleen's sake, but Kathleen (a member of our site) is not the person who lost her horses. It was someone named Kerry. Kathleen is the person who picked up on this tragedy thru another discussion site and reported it to us.
Thanks Kathleen for letting us know this important information. I just happen to have purchased this product, but have not yet given it to my horse. I can't tell you HOW GRATEFUL I am to you!

... okay, got it. The horses were on Kathleen's ranch, therefore, making it seem to me like they were Kathleen's personal horses. Still, the best wishes and prayers go out. Thanks for clearing that detail up for me, Lori. AND, THANKS to all for bringing this possible problem with the wormer to our attention. I wait to hear the final judgement with the outcome of the testing on the wormer, as well as the necropsies..

Hi all,
The people and horses involved are unknown to me. I belong to the CTR discussion group on yahoo and this was posted there by a member of that site, with the original post by the person who lost the horses (Kerry). All we can do is send all our positive thoughts to anyone affected by this.

Hi Kathleen. I thought I read your post correctly. I am very happy that it was not your horses that were affected, but that still does not make it any better for the poor girl (Kerry) who lost her horses. We are all praying for her and that maybe we can prevent this from happening to someone else. Apparently the wormer was purchased from Country Supply, since there is a warning on that site for ivermectin wormer.
Again, thanks for this very important information.

I spoke with Country Supply this morning in reference to the Bimectin. I was told that the manufacturer of Bimectin had notified Country Supply of a problem with generic ivermectin products. Exactly what the problem is was unknown by the person I spoke with. Country Supply is recommending a name brand ivermectin wormer until this is cleared up or further clarified. I was told to call back on Friday as Country Supply should have more information by then. As far as those of us that have purchased Bimectin and thank goodness haven't used it yet, no refunds or exchanges have been authorized at this time. The catalog rep said she should have more information on this Friday as well. |

Kamla, many thanks for the update.
Do any Canadian members know if Bimectin is available up here? I don't think I've ever seen it in the stores here in the Vancouver area but I would gladly put the word out to friends in other areas of the country if you have seen it sold elsewhere.

To further confuse the issue - upon seeing this post I immediately ran to check our stock of ivermectin........and yes we recently just used Bimectin (Lot # 5J019), on 1/18/06 on about 25 horses.......no apparent ill effects at this time (and hoping there will not be since it was a month ago) - the Lot # on the wormer (since we have quite a bit left) is the same - 5J019 as in the tragic post. I will not use any more until this is resolved as I realize it could be only a portion of that lot # or not even the wormer at all at this point...
My heart goes out to the persons with this tragedy.

retention samples of Lot number 5J019 manufactured in October 2005.
Testing results reveal that the product manufactured respective to this
Lot are within specification pursuant to the label claim and consistent
with original Lot release last October.
Bimeda MTC Animal Health, Inc. the manufacturer of this product is an

Slightly off topic but a wormer warning also - when I posted this information to another group I am on I got a few replies with regards to losing dogs that had licked up the small portion "spit out" from the horses mouth. Their quote said any "imectin" wormer is deadly for dogs especially collies. I know many a time my horse has managed to spit out a bit and I have never really thought of it as a deadly lure for the dog! A wake up call once again!

Thanks all who posted for the info...my horses are due for their ivermectin wormer in March so I will be sure to check lot numbers. I always go with the generic too.
DrO,
regarding Janet's "off topic" comment..how can horse wormer, ivermectin, be toxic to dogs when that is an ingredient in HeartGard Med?? Along with pyrantel? I've always been careful my dogs or cats don't get into any of the horse wormers, but it is confusing. |

Well now we have a long time member who used the product with the same lot number on 25 horses without ill effects and the company is standing behind the lot number of this product, it is beginning to sound like another one of those internet things guys. Don't throw away that product yet. Hold off another 24 hours while we do some double checking. Things are calming down around here and I will see what I can trace down tomorrow, but Kehilan is much closer to this issue than I am likely to get.

Dr.O,
I ordered a generic ivermectin recently (I think from Country Supply-I will have to check)and have yet to use it because I buy a few months in advance.
Is Bimectin the generic form of ivermectin?
Kathleen and Kerry,
My condolences for all of you and your horses. What a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to you. I am just sick over this.
I cannot believe a wormer could kill a horse. Out of curiosity did the young horses affected get the same dose as the older horses? Or does the manufacturer have a clear cut dosage for weight?
With a heavy heart,
WTG |

WTG, it is the other way around and ivermectin is the generic name for the chemical and Bimectrin is a name brand.
Angie I missed your earlier question and it suggests a basic misunderstanding of toxicity. If you get too much of just about anything it is toxic. Even water is toxic as several unfortunate rushing fraternity members find out every year. So the question is not just what it is but the amount given. Ivermectin toxicity is further complicated in dogs because there appear to be certain breeds that are predisposed to sensitivity to the drug at doses needed to prevent heart worms.

DrO and All
How long will it take to figure out if this is is an "internet hoax?" It is beyond my understanding as to why someone would perpetuate such a lie, but in a way I hope it is a lie, so that this "Kerry" would not have lost all those horses. If someone did this kind of thing to hurt the manufacturer, then the next Ivermectin product I will use will be Bimectin!

It may not be a lie Nancy, I think a lot of these things have elements of truth. Kerry above may well have had horses die under unusual circumstances. Assuming this is true, the question becomes was it because of the ivermectin? The company says they have checked samples from that lot and no, they are not having any problems they are aware of. Kehilan suggests the company may be right. However maybe there was something wrong with that bottle (which suggests human tampering) or it was given in an incorrect manner. Or maybe something else happened to Kerry and the association with the dewormer incorrect. I am uncertain we will ever no exactly that answer but I am interested in following up the company's response.
I do think it is true that disgruntled users of a product sometimes tell these stories to get back at a company. You have to be very careful with information you receive second hand and the internet can really breed these type tales.

Dr O,
I know a few people who give ivermectin for heartworms. They say it only takes a drop for a medium weight dog???? I do use panacur for regular worming in the winter and switch to one of the heartworm medications from my vet in spring. I have six medium/large dogs and this helps with expenses. Do the heartworm medications on the market have ivermectin in them? |

Yes, many do, but I find the drop on the tongue frightening. It is no way to properly dose such an important medication, besides the possibility of toxicity there is always the possibility you are not giving enough and heart worms develop. I got behind today and was unable to contact the company I do hope to tomorrow however.

Cats are very sensitive to these products so please keep the ivermectin away from them. A friend of mine gave a tiny bit to her cats once and ended up with them all in intensive vet care on IV's and being ridiculed! She was fortunate they did not die. |

This is a link to the manufacturer's site and message re: the recent questions. I have 15 doses here and I guess,regardless of what is found, I am uncomfortable using the product, so will be returning it to Country Supply. It's just not a risk worth taking. http://www.bimeda.com/dotcom/bimjpg.jpg |

Hey Everybody
I hope that we would all wait to hear back, at least from Kathleen, to see what gets posted on the other site before returning Bimectin. Suppposedly, "Kerry" is having necropsies done, as well as testing on the product. I really hope that we hear back, and do not have to guess as to whether this was an "internet hoax" or not!

Sometimes i just hate the internet when stuff like this happens. Throws everyone into a frenzy. Personally, unless i know the person involved i have just stopped listening. or worrying for these exact same reasons above. It reminds me of that "whisper"syndrome... gads. Had everyone in an uproar. new mystery illness. Horses dieing because of it. I feel for the people involved but i also can't give credence unless there is a contact number, address, and email attached to give it more credibility. This literally is 10th time i have read this on different sites. But not once does it have any "real" info. Nor does the initial poster know the person. |

Here is the latest information available on the product:
DATE: Thursday, February 23, 2006
TO: Whom It May Concern
RE: Bimectin Equine Wormer Paste Lot. No 5J019
Information Bulletin # 2
For Immediate Release
Bimeda, Inc., as a Worldwide Leader in the manufacturing and marketing of diverse, high quality veterinary pharmaceuticals, with specific equine wormer paste expertise, will continue to provide our valued customers and associates with timely and accurate information relative to the current Bimectin Equine Wormer Paste issue with Lot No. 5J019.
As originally reported on Feb. 21st, 2006, the Company, upon receipt of a Technical Services report from the field, immediately conducted potency testing on retention samples of Lot No. 5J019 and the results were found to be normal and within original Lot release potency specifications pursuant to the product’s label claim for active ingredient contents. Hence, the Company continues to reaffirm the safety and efficacy of Bimectin Equine Wormer Paste for its intended use and label claims.
As a matter of record, the Company has placed millions of doses of Ivermectin Equine Paste into the worldwide marketplace since the product was introduced in 2004 with no incidents reported of any safety and/or efficacy issues associated with this product. Further, specific to Lot No. 5J019; over 58,000 doses of that Lot have entered the USA marketplace since October 2005 with no other reported safety or efficacy issues.
This past week the Company has received feedback from veterinarians, their clients, and individual horse owners on the positive and safe results obtained from the administration of Bimectin Equine Wormer Paste from various lot numbers, including Lot No. 5J019.
The Company will continue to be proactive and test field samples of Lot No. 5J019 to verify product purity. We will keep you updated regarding further testing, but at this time we have no reason to suspect that Bimectin Equine Wormer Paste is anything but safe and efficacious for use according to the label.
Thank your for your continued patience, understanding, and support in this matter as we provide updated information verifying this product’s safe use in horses.
Gavin L. Tierney
Chief Executive Officer
Bimeda, Inc. North America.
The most interesting thing is that they have not had any direct reports of problems. I know some of you are skeptical about the company's claims here but it is very unlikely they are not telling the truth as the only hope of maintaining their company would be to report such problems as early and aggressively as possible.

Timothy,
It's called legal ease. The Legal departments write this release notes, and want to make sure they cover themselves of any liability.
Dr O.
The drop on the tongue rate of application turned me off using ivermectin on my dogs for heartworms. Some things just aren't work trying to save a few bucks. If I can't get dosage in cc's per pound I won't use it. |

DrO,
I, too, checked out Bimeda before posting here and have the same impression you do. They seem like a very upstanding large company doing business around the world, and it is hard to believe that they would put out a statement like that if it weren't true - to the best of their knowledge. BTW did you get the email address I sent?

Dr.O - Knowing what you know at this moment, would you give your horses Bimectin? I don't want to be an alarmist and I understand how frequently wrong conclusions are drawn - especially using this medium. I have 15 doses of Bimectin, of different lot numbers than those cited. My horses are due. What's your advice? Thanks. |

I got it Kathleen but have not had time to pursue it. However it does not look valid with a nonletter character in the domain name. Val we are only 2 days into this controversy. I feel very strongly this product is safe but if it is not we will know shortly, wait a week and then decide.
Tim you are really over thinking this thing. The reason for the "other" is because this is a reported issue to them: they have heard the rumors but are unable to confirm the details.
If you want to find something suspicious it is that with as many doses of this medication that they produce I would be surprised that they don't receive hundreds of complaints a month, even if not a single one of them was do to the use of their product. But overall I still feel that the company has so much to loose if they do not tell the truth about this incident that it is very unlikely the above statement is false.

I have been using Bimectin for a year now with no problems, but none with the lot number in question. I'm also very curious to know the outcome of this post. My horses are due for their next worming in a week, and since I have been using the same lot numbers for a while now I will not hesitate to give it. |

The post below was forwarded to me by one of my boarders. It comes from the originator of the complaint. I hope we can get to the bottom of this situation as soon as possible for the benefit of all. I'm still sitting on my supply of Bimectin, waiting for clarification. Your thought, DrO? Thanks as always! Val
Hi Sandra,
Thankyou so much for helping to get out the word, I know your fowarding reaplys on to me and I really appericate your time and kindness in doing this for us .I hope its ok I send my replys back to you to FWD to the correct people.  Here is my latest release, please post it far and wide.
Thank you so much!
Kerry
===================================================================
After further consultaion with my attorney, and after receiving both warning letters, and strange phone calls from the BIMEDA company I am releasing this statement. Please feel free to foward to intrested parties.
I received a WARNING letter today from ::
For and on behalf of Bimeda Inc and part of
Cross Vetpharm Holdings Plc
PD Brady
Group Company Secretary and
Group Chief Legal Officer
That in part stated that if I continued to make comments about BIMECTIN they would take me to court for slander etc. I then recieved a message on my answering machine from the BIMEDA vet saying that
"He had a found out some "infomation" what I was feeding my horses, and that that was the "real problem", and that he wanted to send out a specilist to check that my other horses where not in danger, and that he thought my other horses where in danger, and the sepcialist would come to help "save" my other horses."
(THIS QUOTE IS NOT VERBATIUM)
I of course called my vet to enquire if my feed samples came back with something wrong. My vet has given NO REPORT or infomation to BIMEDA. He said that my (remaining) horses are FINE and HEALTHY.
And my feed report (that he anticipates will come back FINE as ALL my horses eat it, and ONLY the ones that used this product are dead and sick!)Therefore what "infomation" BIMEDA could have recieved is mind boggling .So thats a bit strange, I have been told by my attorney that is is just a scare tactic, so that BIMEDA can have access to my property. If they want to enquire about access to my property they can call my attorney.
I feel I did the right thing, I sent out a warning to other horse owners that there MAY be a problem and to use caution. It dismays me that the company that says that they have the animals welfare in mind would infact do all they can to smear me, and cover their backsides.Wouldnt you think a caring company would be screaming from the hill tops "STOP let us test first!!, and then TEST AGAIN!"
Instead they are saying..."Everything is fine" So it really comes down to their FINANCIAL BOTTOMLINE..dosnt it??
Yet I am recieving E-mails and phone calls from people that AS WE SPEAK, have SICK and DEAD horses, after using this product with the SAME or SIMILAR symptoms as my horses.And they ALL used this product, and NOT just my batch number but AT LEAST ONE OTHER BATCH NUMBER TOO.
Its sad to me that a little person like me is being stepped on HARD by a animal health giant, when all I am doing is trying to help my fellow horsepersons, and the horses they love.
This is NOT an internet HOAX, as has been reported in some circles.
This is the REAL DEAL, my horses are SICK and DEAD, and others are in similar condition with the same/similar symptoms.We are awating on the necropsy results and anticipate that we will have them in a few days.I have done everything I can with the advice of my attorney and my vet. It is all I can do as a little person in a world full of company giants.

well..I went out and checked the lot number of the Bimectin I used on all the horses here 2 weeks ago..it matches-- 5J019.
All the horses are fine.
Condolences to those who have lost horses--and hoping the mystery gets cleared up soon. |
