> Moscow-based Vetbiokhim has told dog owners and veterinarians not to use four batches of its Multikan-8 and Multikan-6 vaccines. The company cited suspicion of organized destructive interference by hostile third parties and an ongoing additional inspection. The recall follows reports, mostly from Yaroslavl region, of large numbers of dogs dying after vaccination; local authorities have opened an inspection of the manufacturer.
