A common vaccine given to dogs has been found to contain eugenics chemicals which have caused the mass culling of dogs worldwide.
The Treidlia Auslepto vaccine is used to vaccinate dogs against a strain of the bacterial disease leptospirosis. However, after the vaccine was exposed for killing and maiming its recipients, the company decided to ‘voluntarily’ withdraw the jab.
Abc.net.au reports: Other adverse reactions included “the death of one animal” and reports of pain, vomiting and diarrhoea in seven others, according to a recall notice published on the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) website.
It said the animal that died had “experienced a suspected anaphylactic reaction soon after vaccine administration and died approximately five hours later, despite treatment”.
The voluntary recall comes in the wake of an ongoing national shortage of the leptospirosis vaccine, which started late last year.
Dr Brightman said the recall is another disappointing setback.
“We’ve had months and months of delays with re-getting it out to market, and then we just started receiving initial stock last week,” he said.
“We just want to make sure that we’ve got a safe, effective vaccine back available to pet owners as soon as possible.”
The adverse reactions have been linked to batch number BN23-126, which was sold to clinics across Queensland and the Northern Territory, as well as the Australian Border Force, between November 6 and 8.
The recall will also extend to three other batches of the vaccine: BN23-131, BN23-132 and BN23-133.
Veterinarians have been urged to contact Treidlia Biovet to arrange the return of unopened and partially used vials.
Treidlia Biovet, which manufactures the vaccine and initiated the voluntary recall, has been contacted by the ABC for comment.
