"Makala"

I found your article while doing a Google search. I wish I had found it earlier and known of the side effects of this drug. My dog, Makala (a yellow lab), died of kidney failure 4/14/2008 due to this same drug. I had not idea the medicine I was giving her was actually slowly killing her. I feel absolutely awful.

She suffered and could not walk the last 4 days while the vet gave her two IV flushes (one on Friday and the second on Saturday). The third one was scheduled for Monday
4/14/2008 but I had to have her put down as she was suffering badly and I could no longer put her through the suffering. Do you have any statistics on the percentage of dogs or cats have adverse reactions?

Best Regards,
