Teva Animal Health Product Recall
On Dec 21, 2009, the FDA and Teva Animal Health announced a recall of injectable ketamine in the light of an increasing trend in serious adverse events. That recall has now expanded into various ketamine labels and may include butorphanol as well. These are two common sedative drugs used in veterinary medicine.
When in doubt, check the FDA website. The good news is that veterinarians have many different options for safe and effective anesthetics and analgesics. Open and honest communications between veterinarians and pet owners preparing for surgery with their pets is the best course of action.
Veterinarians are able to provide their surgical patients with the latest monitoring equipment and highly trained assistants and technicians. While no surgery can be 100% safe, veterinarians do their best to avoid any complications or problems that might put your pet at risk.
