 Trifexis makes dogs sick.
My adult male Yorkie Vinny was prescribed Trifexis as a flea preventative, 2 years ago. Several hours after the initial dose he vomited frank red blood and had frank red blood stools. This is after having the medication with food. As soon as possible Vinny and I returned to the Vets office. I thought of every possiblity of why he could be bleeding internally. I keep really close watch of him so, when I mentioned to the Vet- Do you think it might be the flea medicine, she stated " oh no this medicine has even in use for awhile and the only real side affect has been normal vomiting (not blood)." So of course all of his labs had to be checked, xrays taken of his GI SYS, everything necessary to rule out any possible acute problem, and then medications to help stop the bleeding. All the tests came back normal. Thank The Lord Vinny was okay. I being the trusting soul I am continued to use the Trifexis as the Vet ordered.
Well, problem was the following month after giving Vinny the Trifexis, the same identical things happened!!!!!! Plus all the tests, meds ects. But this time no matter what the Vet told me I knew in my heart - the BEST thing for my sweet baby. The sight of seeing your sweet Yorkie throwing up blood, pooping out blood.... All the tests, all of the informative rhetoric are really just empty words. I believe it is a gamble no one should take with their precious loved one now..!!
Just between you and me why would someone spend so much time defending a product as this. This is a Free Country, and I would tell anyone who asked or that has a dog not to use Trifexis. Plus, I think alot of the flea topicals, prevent fleas by disrupting the fleas ions outside their bodies. According to my Professor/Scientist of Physiology. |
