Trifexis

[johnbeaver]

Anyone else use this for their dogs?
I think Tucker had a reaction to it this morning. Gave it to him last night. This a. m. he was lethargic, eyes half closed, unsteady and kinda walking backwards.
Has tolerated it well in the past. Don't know for sure whether it was a reaction to the drug or something else.
Off to the vet directly.

Instead of giving chemicals to Cody (our Golden Retriever) or rubbing chemicals on his skin I choose to spray my Yard for Flea's, Ticks and Mosquito's. Yea, I realize he is stepping on the grass that has been sprayed, but we do wipe his paws off for a week after application. I feel that whatever one does to prevent Fleas, Ticks and Mosquitos is not great, but probably better than Lime Disease and the other diseases carried by these little buggers.

I've never given any pets this medicine you are asking about and have not even heard of it to be honest. Hopefully, your pet will be OK, but I'd call the manufacturer and ask as well as your Vet - just to be on the safe side.

I used it on my dog for six months when we first got her. Switched to something else to take care of ticks, as we camp a lot with her.

Never had a problem.

Let us know what the vet says.

certainly the dog can have a reaction. The signs/symptoms certainly sound like he did

It's a 3 in one pill. Best to discuss with the Vet!

3 dogs, no issues with it.

1st time you ever gave it to him? First I might give his ears a sniff & looksee for mites/infection, then to the vet. You may want to give the house/yard an inspection to see if he could have gotten into something else. Good luck.

I just started Flint on it Monday. No problems so far other than he's a little jerk but that's normal.

Well, the vet thinks he did have a seizure, but unrelated to the Trifexis. Did blood work and did not see anything unusual.
Last night he acted tired. Just slap wore out. This a.m. everything is back to normal.
So we will monitor and see whats next. Maybe an MRI if it happens again.
Tucker is a Husky and they can be prone to Epilepsy and other siezures.
