The last time I contacted the university about my issue I was told by their attorney that the statute of limitations was up and that I could not sue them and that they owed me nothing. I have since found out that they are exempt from liability and I could never collect compensation if I was...

what has happened to cattletoday?

Maybe this is the final chapter to this story. Missouri got a new governor, Univ of mo got a new president and chancellor. The veterinarian and the dean of the vet school no longer work there as of the end of July. I have never been compensated and probably never will.

I used Ivomec for 2 years. I noticed that 4 days after I administered it I had 5 or 6 calves suddenly die or show signs of paralysis and then die. I contacted Merial labs and complained about their product. They blamed everything but their product for the calves deaths. They had hidden the fact...

No one should be above the law--not even the university or the government. There should be accountability for illegal and unethical actions for them as well as anyone else.

MU got a new chancellor so I sent him a message hoping to find an honest person. The message detailed and explained what happened and listed the crimes committed. The response was returned through the legal department saying that they owe me nothing and that the statute of limitations had run...

This story is sketchy so I will simplify. The vet showed up with samples of Meramec--cannot find info on that--I told him not to give it. He heartily recommended Bovishield gold 5 to go with the 7-way vaccine and I was billed for the bovishield and the 7-way. There is no way that those 2 drugs...

To summarize: I gave up on sueing the university. I called over 100 area large animal vets and not one said that they believed that this could happen or that they had never seen it happen. An out of state vet was too expensive. I tried to talk to the dean of the vet school and he would not see...

The cows and calves were all healthy and they all looked good. Parasites have been around for millions of years and ivomec only temporarily reduces their number. It totally imazes me that people think that it is better to kill an animal with Ivomec than to not give it. Must be alot of industry...

I was unable to find help to work the cattle at the time. I had the cattle up so I called the vet school and had the vet and 4 students to work them for me. I reluctanly went with the vets recommendations. All I wanted was the cows and calves sorted and the calves vaccinated with 7-way vaccine...

There were 9 calves posted , 6 by the vet and 3 by the MU pathology dept but they did not look for parasites in those areas according to their reports even though I told them Ivomec was probable cause. An oversight???

I decided to inform anyone who has not noticed that the package insert for Ivomec now has a black box warning about heel fly infestation and that it can cause death if administered at the wrong time. I believe that this post had a major impact in Merial labs disclosure of a major adverse effect.

they are crossbred angus cattle. It seems that most farmers believe big pharmas propaganda. The drug companies are only trying to sell their product are are not there to help livestock or the farmer. In some cases the cure is worse than the disease.

I have talked to numerous vets and they do not make followup calls to see if there were any losses. The first few times that I lost calves I thought that it was just bad luck and did not correlate to the vaccination. I also dont think that many cattlemen work cattle dec,jan,feb is another...

I do not treat my cattle with ivermectin at all. My cattle are healthy and I rotate the pastures so worms are not a problem. I know what a heel fly is and I do see them. I also see my cattle "gadding" in the summer when the flys are out. I do not see the need to use a product when it is not...

I am looking for a retired large animal vet to use as an expert witness. I have talked to alot of vets in the area but since my issues are with the Univ of Mo vet clinic, no one wants to get involved. Please send me a name and contact info. I did not expect to find all of the ethics and criminal...

Eight cattle were posted and nothing remarkable was determined. One calf may have shown some sign of pneumonia. Nine calves died suddenly 4 days after vaccination. The other 8 calves showed permanent neurological symptoms (poor gait, ataxia) and then died over the next month after stopping...

The next year I gave my calves Bovishield Gold 5 and did not lose a one--not even a cough. I have owned cattle for 40 years and never had a problem until I started using Ivomec.

Just a little more info. The year that 17 head died, a veterinarian administered the drug by injection. He also did this after I explicitly told him not to since I had bad results from Ivomec. Has anyone had this result after using Bovishield Gold 5? That is what he says he administered. I think...
