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.

The voluntary recall comes in the wake of an ongoing national shortage of the leptospirosis vaccine, which started late last year.

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.

Veterinarians have been urged to contact Treidlia Biovet to arrange the return of unopened and partially used vials.   PV
