My vet gave my 5 1/2 lb. Yorkie Trifexis. She soon developed diarrhea and I really didn't make the connection of the Trifexis. My sister-in-law gave her Yorkie Imodium when he became ill with diarrhea and did well, but he had not had Trifexis. I called the vet to see if the Imodium would be okay, and he gave me a prescription for it. I picked it up and gave my Yorkie some. The diarrhea was natures way of getting rid of the poison (Trifexis) and when I gave her the Imodium it was disastrous. She began to have diarrhea with blood and vomiting. I called my vet at 2:00 a.m. I was told to bring her in. She was diagnosed with pancreatitis which I believe now came from the Trifexes. She is home (after over $900) and seems to be doing well and is on a low fat diet. I do not want to give my dog flea pills, not any! What can I do that is safe and controls fleas? Thank you! |
