Senior Yorkie Talker | Trifexis I have 3 yorkies One only weighs 4 pounds and the vet said it was ok to give her the full dose of the trifexis now she is laying in n my lap not at all like herself. She has been on this med, but I only gave her a half tab. This time I did what the vet said, now I'm having second thoughts she has thrown up and not at all herself.is this normal after the trifexis treatment. My other two are ok but they weigh more than this one does . I'm so worried. I'm considering not using this medicine any more |

| Hi, What is this trifecta used for if I may ask? When you gave her the half dose did it help with her problem? Maybe,the vet thought it would be fine to give the full pill but if you tell him what you told us then he would know whether it was wrong to give her all of it. Unfortunately it can be trial and error for pets or people about medicines. Hope she does better whatever you decide is best to do for her. That's all we can do is what we see in our eyes is the best thing. Trial and error.

Trifexis has killed many dog's due to the reactions from it. I pray your baby will be ok.

| Not sure if this will help at all, but I have always just used Oatmeal flea and tick shampoo for my babies and they dont get any fleas or ticks. Our babies are so delicate on medications..I remember when Mimi had a c-section the vet was giving her liquid antibiotics and they were way too strong for her. She was throwing up like crazy! I had to leave her at the Vet all day for monitoring and to make sure she wouldn't get dehydrated from the throwing up. It ended up being the antibiotics were too strong for her little body. Let us know what they say! |

| Tribe is has been known to often be problematic. We use Revolution as my Cali is only 4 pounds and it dosed by size/weight. Have had no problems with it. Take care of your baby!

| That medicine is deadly especially in small dogs. Don't give it again it's very dangerous!

| Where you have mosquitoes you have heart worms. Your dogs will need to be tested first and then I would suggest heartguard or interceptor. You need to get on this pretty quick.

| If your dog has never been on any heart worm preventive make sure your dog has heart worm blood work done to make sure they do not have heart worms, if you put your dog on a heart worm preventive without doing the blood work it can kill your dog. All dogs must stay on a heart worm preventive ALL YEAR. Cody weighs 12 pounds, he is on Interceptor PLUS chewables. It also treats and controls intestinal parasites, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms. Every year he gets blood work to make sure he has no heart worms. As lovetodream88 has stated, "Where you have mosquitoes you have heart worms".

If you are in Florida, definitely ask your vet about heartworm preventative. | |

| Yup the girls are scheduled to go to the vet next week so I'm going to ask then. I know when Mimi was pregnant we did the bloodwork on both of the dogs and they came out clear. 100% healthy dogs with no types of worms or anything at all. |
