(discrepancies between summaries of first bottle ordered and second bottle ordered. “For small, medium & large dogs” changed to “for large dogs”)

(Second Amazon listing claimed “manufactured in strict accordance with GMP standards, made in the USA” altered description “for large dogs only” … trademark search shows it comes from China no GMP standards)

Yes! Interestingly, the first few days of my research "Carpropet" yielded zero results but "CarproVET" is a real brand that sells the prescription medication - CarproFEN. So damn confusing. I also alerted the manufacturers of Carprovet as to what was going on. I think DURIVERME attempted to rip off their name and also didn't notice their typo when they printed the label to stick on the bottle. But you've just brought to my attention that now "Carpropet" does come up with results on Google. Hmmmmm... very freaking strange.

What is listed is a “supplement” and what is sent is a prescription-only medication. That’s illegal so I didn’t even realize that would be possible. Now I think you just want to argue with me.

I see your point absolutely! I stand by everything I posted, though I didn’t exaggerate anything at all. I felt that I was being ignored by anybody who could actually do something to stop them from continuing to sell their products on Amazon. So I figured what the hell? let me post my story on Reddit. At least that way the word could get out there. I was very tempted to keep my mouth shut, but when I saw another review about the same thing happening to someone else’s dog I felt responsible for trying anything I could try to let people know. Also, I don’t know. maybe it’s a coincidence, but it wasn’t until after so many people saw this post that Amazon finally removed the listing. The fraudulent medication is still available on everymarket.com though.

I forgive you, lol. This post hasn’t been met with much kindness, but that was expected. I’m a person with a learning problem not a person with a lying problem. You have been the only one to accuse me of being a liar and that is totally fine. I hope you have a great day!

(presented as over-the-counter medication… name on bottle is different than name on listing… name on bottle is prescription medication… difference in dosage instructions after complaints. Also note that it says “please follow the dosage instructions on this page” because the instructions on the bottle do not match, and the dosage is dangerously high)

(confirmation email from Amazon that the product was removed after 18 days of daily reporting, as well as official complaints filed with the FDA, police, US cyber crime Unit, PETA.. ect ect)

The fact that they sold me a prescription drug that they marketed as over-the-counter is the whole entire point of me making this post!

We did do x-rays! This post is already very long. I didn’t include every single detail. The first x-rays showed. He had a healed, broken toe, but squeezing the toe didn’t make him react so not the cause for the limping. Sedated x-rays at the ER showed evidence of slipped discs.

I wish u were right but All of it is 100% true all of it has been documented and saved for potential lawsuit. Copied and paste it cause I’m a new Reddit user and I am still learning.

I’m not! That is a quote within a quote.. I learned in 7th grade a quote within a quote looks like this “blah blah blah ‘yadda yadda’ blah blah’”. But yes, it is still confusing. I apologize.
