I ordered adequan from petmeds.
When it arrived by UPS the bottle was extremely hot to the touch.
I called Luitpold (the makers of adequan) to ask about it getting so hot during delivery and if it was
still ok to use.
I talked to a doctor there and asked her about this and
she said the adequan is still fine. She said it is "happiest" at room temperture and should never be
refridgerated. She said to always store it in a
dark cool place.
While i had her on the phone i asked her about the
Chondroprotec and she said, "that company has been misleading veterinarians for years! There is no such drug. It has never been proven to help arthritis!"
She said "your vet was mislead!" I told her that when i gave Fluffy the shot of adequan he acted like he had not been stuck; like it didn't hurt at all and with the Chondroprotec he always jumped and i had a hard time giving it to him and she said, "exactly!"
I gave Fluffy the prefilled syringes of what i thought was adequan for about a year.
I would never have know had i not decided to buy a vial to have at home.
