Yeah, why did the FDA pull the VitB complex helmstead?
Should I be worried about my bottle of it?

I would say it was something stupid...but I'm not sure. All I've HEARD is there was some kind of 'problem' with the manufacturing of it.
In a pinch, certainly use human B vitamins, either the gels cut open or crushed up tablets. You cannot overdose a goat on vitamin B, the excess is excreted through the urine.

Yeah, it's not even available to the clinic I work for. BUT thiamine is available still, or at least it was last month when we checked with the vendor. Just not b-complex. The only hitch is that it's way more expensive. But in a pinch...
And it's Rx.

NONE of the manufacturers / distributors have any.
I'm figuring it's not so much a 'recall / safety' issue as much as the FDA is making them change the formulation somehow.

Why did they pull it? We bought a second bottle awhile back, but I thought it was just getting tough to find due to a supply problem.helmstead said:

She is doing fine this morning! Doesn't seem like anything at all was a miss yesterday. I am holding their feed for one more day. I just gave them extra hay in place. I will start back up tomorrow with a smaller portion.

I just purchased a bottle of Maxi-B 1000, there was 1 more left and then she had 6 bottles of another brand they just got in, she said it was way more expensive because most of the B's were no longer available, but she was still getting that one in (250Ml) bottles.elevan said:
So check around there is some out there.
Glad to hear she is doing better. We had 3 month old Boer get chased off by our older pygmy the day we brought the babies home. She was out in 10 acres of woods by herself for 3 days before we could catch her. We had to sprint back and forth for about an hour before she got so wore out that she just gave up. All we did was put her in a quiet place for about a week. Fast forward a year, she is the nicest, sweetest, and friendliest goat we have ever had.

I'm sure the B-Complex problem is somebody's check to FDA didn't clear...... Or somebody elses' check was bigger and DID clear!
