RE: [RC] Country Supply is substituting Bimectin for the generic wormer!!! - Jim Holland

That's why you buy on a credit card. :) Call 'em back, ask for the manager
and give him the facts of life. Substituting on something like that without
permission is unacceptable (IMHO) anyway.

I did some Google searching and found 3-4 hits on it mentioning it as a
potential "problem".  The lot number mentioned there was 5J019. That hit
also mentioned that the problem Bimectrin supposedly CAME from Country
Supply.

I couldn't find anything indicating that it was a known hoax.

Until we know more...fer sure...I would can it.  It's a tiny thing compared
to losing one of your horses.

==========================================

I just received my order of several things from Country Supply and received
Bimectin as a substitute ivermectin wormer and they will not allow returns
on it as noted in their catalog. When I asked her if it was worth bad
publicity to not allow me to return the wormer that I just received and she
responed by asking me why I was allowing an e-mail hoax to bother me. She
told me that there is no person willing to come forward.

I can not take the risk of giving this wormer to my horses. But I don't want
others to be put in this predicament. I told her that I have never received
this before as a substitute and that they are using this to get rid of their
supply. When I quizzed her on how long they had been substituting this brand
she went from "a long time to several months to maybe the last couple of
months". She would not give me any one elses name to talk to.

Does anyone have the name or e-mail address of the person that lost their
horses?
