Yes, I do believe it has.  The pharmaceutical company is the same, Virbac.  Have one of your relatives call a veterinary specialty clinic and ask them.  It still wouldn't be available to anyone who wants to purchase it though.  They'd have to have a cat or dog (it's used for Parvo), that would benefit from it before a vet would write a prescription for it.

We have been discussing it, and some of us have gotten it through our
vets 
getting FDA permission to import it.

We should look into the online pharmacy thing, but I think without FDA 
approval there is a risk of the stuff being confiscated by customs, and
you will not 
get a refund from the pharmacy if that happens either.

ship to USA:
