Hey hon....I'm trying to understand what you wrote here....slight language barrier.
YOU WROTE:
According to french TV law issue is this one:
- If a drug kills a lot of pacients (mediator scandal on TV), then french health compare benefits and nocivity of product and decides whether to keep the product in french medicine national database or to take it out of the market. If they take out of the market, they sue the guilty enterprises and they propose no new medicine for doctors to prescribe. So they state they loose the good killing medicine. And it's a national loss with no hope.
Here in the US, they test all potential drugs BEFORE they put it on the market. They do sometimes pull drugs off the market sometimes. But, your statement has me wondering whether the French system just puts drugs out without doing any testing??? IF that's the case, that is downright scary. =(
I hope someone else comes along to help me understand this better. Or, Francoise, maybe you can?
By the way, I thought that was very sweet of your vets to tell you that they were sorry. I usually get a card signed by all of the employees in my vets' office when I get my cats put down.
PS-I don't understand why it's such a big deal to market lactated ringer's solution. This is a very common solution for people with very simple ingredients. I just don't understand this at all. Makes me feel lucky to be in the US for the half way decent vet care for my cats.
UFC Que Choisir 92 just told me they are opened for discussion with Boiron Lab's in case they need advice ;)
You see that you can get what you want in France !
In France there is 2 ways of solving a medicine problem: law issue or commercial issue.
According to french TV law issue is this one:

If they take out of the market, they sue the guilty enterprises and they propose no new medicine for doctors to prescribe. So they state they loose the good killing medicine. And it's a national loss with no hope.
According to commercial point of view:
- If a drug kills, there will always be an enterprise ready to save the world and replace it.
And that's what I proposed to Boiron Lab's: TO SAVE THE WORLD !
So the only PRESSURE I can give them is putting them in contact with: UFC Que Choisir 92, and tell them: find out a diplomatic issue if you ever do lab tests on competing products ? We don't want scandals ! We want concrete answers !
And GO TO H*** family who wants money because medicine killed their sons. What they should do is working for medicine replacement, if they want a social aim, if they want the bad enterprises to get down !!! In France Enterprises are treated like GOD and humans like *-*-. So even french government is afraid of suying them.
I'll put a canddle in Notre Dame Church for having Lactated Ringer Solution from Boiron Lab's as the social solution. So I hope they do commercial investigation then product !
And I think it'll work, because a ghost was watching me today, I think it was worried with me. He looked like the translucid fishes tentacles at feet, very beautifull but frightened me, couldn't see form, told him to get out and lock the door on him, because I still don't have courage to speak with ghosts. 2 ghosts manifestations in a year, it's rare (usually it takes more than 10years).

All my vets from vet clinic told me how they are sorry about my cat's death. If they read this, I thank them a lot !!!

French kitties deserve good care, too!!! I hope they continue to improve veterinary care for France's pets.
Good job, girl. Keep putting the pressure on them!
great job francoise....all because of your continued pressure, this will lead to much better outcomes for the french kitties, great work!!
Good news friends, very good news, Boiron Labs is going to study if it's a good idea of inventing Lactated Ringer Solution high-quality fluids for french pets !!!
They don't say they will, they told me they are studying the idea :)
So there is hope for french cats !!!
