    Damn, that sucks. I remember when we bought Lou, the worms were keeping him from gaining weight for the first week we had him, in spite of his rather distended belly. :(

    Diatomaceous earth is supposed to kill internal parasites. Just make sure it's food grade if it becomes necessary to try it. Food grade is safe even if it won't do the job.

    Just like the fucking Jews to drum up an artificial shortage to jack up the price.

    Sorry, but this is the Red Room and I just wanted to get the ball rolling.

    If you wanted to get the ball rolling it wasn't necessary to use the Jews. Not when the FDA is a big fat stupid target itself. :rolleyes:

    And I didn't know the FDA controlled pet medicine but this is fucking stupid. The whole FDA needs to be junked.

    I'm thinkin' he just wanted to cut loose. You know, kind of like how, I'm sure I'm not alone here, you might imagine that when a quantum physicist gets home from the lab, he just goes running full-tilt-boogie around the inside of his house yelling nonsensical sounds at the top of his lungs, digs a double handful of uncooked meat out of his freezer and throws it out his window onto the sidewalk and then, when someone stops and stares at the raw, bleeding meat on the sidewalk, slathers his open mouth all over the window and barks at 'em until they run away.

    What I'm gettin' at is that too much sensibility for too long at a time is toxic. Sometimes a fella needs to vent that shit before he finds himself naked and kneeling in the middle of his living room, masturbating furiously and worshipping a statuette of Cthulhu sculpted from meat loaf.

    I'm not saying the FDA itself is the answer, but prior to that a lot of the commonly-available insulin for dogs was of inconsistent quality.

    So what? We have the Federal Dog Administration now? Why don't the FDA stick to dealing with all the bad shit that people need to watch out for? If they are down to this then there is some government jobs to be eliminated.
