Is Merck a pet killer ?

Facebook has removed our shared stories from other sites that confirm our opinions. This is pure censorship by Facebook and we intend to file a claim against Facebook with the appropriate agencies. All our share stories have been removed from our page.
Not only that when we share a story from another site is says it has posted it but it never shows up on the page. Sounds like some collusion is going on ? Is Merck Animal Health a big advertiser for Facebook ?

We need followers to show that we are serious on taking on Merck Animal Health and its Bravecto product. Spread the word and like and follow us !. Do what is right save our pets !

Merck Animal Health was recently hit with a Class Action lawsuit by pet owners who claim their beloved cat and dog drug, Bravecto, contains a dangerous pesticide. But the corporation would only settle with customers if she signed a contract that would release any legal claims against the corporation, according to the Bravecto Class Action lawsuit. While the manufacturer of Bravecto did not knowingly produce a dangerous chemical, they were nevertheless negligent in doing so. According to this Class Action lawsuit, Bravecto was sold to Merck Animal Health by an unscrupulous owner who failed to obtain a veterinarian’s prescription prior to selling the chemical to Merck.

When contacted by the plaintiffs, Merck denied manufacturing and distributing a dangerous chemical. Yet documents were later discovered in an internal employee computer that indicated this was indeed the case. Subsequent litigation exposed the dirty secret that many corporations must contend with when a plant or corporation engages in S.C. liability.

Merck eventually settled the lawsuit by agreeing to pay a $75 million dollar fine and admit their wrongdoing. However, the class-action lawsuit continues. The plaintiffs are asking for an additional $1.75 billion in compensatory and punitive damages. Additionally, they are requesting that the U.S. FDA require that all formulations of Bravecto be held in storage cabinets that lock out the air during processing and packaging. This is the only way that they will be able to ensure that the chemical is properly monitored and stored.

Experts believe the unidentified condition, which leads to severe antibiotic-resistant pneumonia, is contagious and contracted by dogs in group settings.

Maybe a few internal company documents will help shed some light on what Merck really knows about its product Bravecto ?

In case you haven’t heard, Merck Animal Health is definitely in the dog house after many patients have said that the flea and tick prevention drug, Bravecto, is the reason their dogs got horribly sick or even passed away. Since 2018, there have been over 2,100 deaths

We just realized the harm that bravecto has caused to our family dogs! About 2 years ago our bearded collie took bravecto and we didn’t know of any problems with bravecto and then one day she just collapsed and could not walk and she did not respond to us. We had to put her down. I still cry over her. NOW, our yorkie had seizure after seizure last night. Now he can not see, hear, control his bladder and just walks very quickly in circles. He does not respond to us at all!!!!! It is Sat here and we will have to take him to the vet Monday and have him put down! This is terrible that a drug company puts this kind of product out that kill your beloved animals. They are our family!!!! We are devastated! Can you please have someone contact me about the class action law suit? The company should not be allowed to do this!

My two cats received topical Bravecto last year. Within a day or two my tuxedo cat became lethargic, lost fur in chunks, began having tremors and showed extreme confusion. The vet felt the Bravecto was the only reason he could be having symptoms. He gave him extra fluids for several days so he could excrete it. The other cat began losing fur and developed cancer. I had her put down yesterday. I did not know there was a class action lawsuit until today.
I honestly don’t care about financial reimbursement at this point because nothing will bring my Sylvie back. But this drug needs to be off the market so other animals and their people won’t suffer.

I was told to administer Bravecto on my 4 senior cats. I was told the only difference between this drug and advantage but this lasts for 3 months.
All 4 of my cats are ill. Most within 10 days of the treatment.
I am now thousands in in vet bills. Trying to save two, with still heavy concerns for the other 2. Lethargy, severe weight loss, complete loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, and neurological issues.
Now, the ER vet is suggesting biopsy on one, two are receiving at home sub q fluids daily…..the nightmare just continues. HELP!

My Chihuahua has taken bravecto and is now having seizures, thyroid and liver issues. It’s not fair to our fur babies to have to go through this if Merck knew it was not safe. I want answers!

We had a 4 yr old, healthy, chocolate lab that was given Bravecto on a Tuesday. By Thursday, he had stopped eating and by the time we got him to the vet on Friday, his liver had been completely damaged. They did everything they could, but he had to be euthanized on Monday. We will be contacting whoever it takes to make sure this is addressed. How do we join this class action lawsuit?

Merk now discloses that there may be some neurological reactions to taking Bravecto, including tremors, ataxia, and seizures. Death ?

25/07/2021

Has anyone else who have seen their pet suffer contact a law firm ?

17/07/2021

Update: Merk has not been very helpful- wants us to take our cat to a vet who can do a Neurological exam and pay the vet ourselves and then might, might reimburse. us. The vet said an MRI would be best at a cost of several thousands of dollars. but we would have to pay the cost ourselves and then take it up with Merk, We have already spent 3k on vets, testing, xrays, medicines etc. So does anyone care that Merk, in our opinion, is poisoning our pets ?

My vet gave Bravecto to our two 8 y/o cats yesterday (didn't order from Chewy) and I want to warn everyone. Hours later they were running crazed through the house, frantically biting and licking themselves, wild-eyed, panting and totally freaked out. This went on all night. This morning they are calmer but still wary. I will never use this again. Thank God they seem to be ok. I wouldgivezero stars if I could.

This says it all-

14/06/2021

We need to stand up to this company. Who is with us ?

14/06/2021

The safety of Bravecto has not been established in breeding, pregnant or lactating cats. Use caution in cats with a history of neurologic abnormalities. Neurologic abnormalities have been reported in cats receiving Bravecto, even in cats without a history of neurologic abnormalities. Never saw this before☹

Seems to be all about making money with an acceptable level of pet deaths. When are we going to stand up against these companies who put profit before safety?

03/06/2021

Update: in Discussions with Meck ( The Maker of Bravecto) they have advised us to take Chelsea to a new vet that can do a neurological evaluation. We would have to pay in advance to the vet and hope Merck will reimburse us. We have spent thousands of dollars on tests, xrays, evaluations, and medications already. We are tapped out. Has anyone out there have any advice or has taken their pet to have this type of evaluation ?. Now Bravecto states on their NEW label that their product may causes Nurological problems in cats and dogs but a very small percentage.☹☹

28/05/2021

Really bad day for Chelsea today.Falling over and throwing up.We are trying to schedule a visit with a specialist. More tests more expense. This is just so draining.

20/05/2021

One of these drugs has been in use for at least 5 years.

So we contacted Merck again today to see what they have to say. Originally spoke with Katie who appears to be a case worker who's job is to say No. No compensation for thousands in Vet bills, NO not our problem. She said it was escalated to their compensation people. I believe we should at least be compensated for the thousands in vet bills to reach our conclusion. It is now past that and we intend to fight to have this pesticide removed from the market and all the affected pet owners compensated. Katie was sympathetic but she said it ws "above her pay grade" on this type of decision. so if you have a contact for a good pet attorney let us know. As the song says" we are not going to take it anymore" We believe and it is our opinion that their pesticide permanently disabled our sweet cat Chelsea. See her below hiding under a blanket as she no longer comes out to play and run around. BECAUSE SHE CAN'T.

Bravecto is the latest, supposedly greatest, flea "preventative" available. Let's speak plainly: it KILLS things. Delivered how? In my dog's blood??

19/05/2021

Bravecto is a new oral chew for dogs that provides 12 weeks of flea and tick prevention. While it may be effective, Bravecto has a few nasty side effects that might make you think twice before trying this medicine on your beloved pet.

18/05/2021

Merck is not taking us seriously- Like our page so we can show them there are thousands of pet owners who are concerned that their product a type of pesticide might be killing our pets.
