Was sent a vial manufactured in 2013 which was darker color in appearance from previous product. My veterinarian advised against using it even though it had no expiration date. I asked for a "better appearing " replacement since I did not want to chance using it. Was refused since the manufacturer said it was safe although this pharmacy agreed with me that it looked different and they understood my concerns. Now I am out the costs because I am afraid to use it......
