Trifexis dose question - 10.8 lbs So, Mya has been taking the 5-10lb trifexis for a few years now - it's been working just fine. I had a conversation with the vet 6 months ago about how I wasn't comfortable giving her the higher dose even though she is 10.8lbs and they allowed me to maintain the smaller dose. Well, I just tried to renew her prescription and the vet apparently changed her mind because she's refusing to give me the 5-10lb dose saying it won't work and she can't legally give her the wrong dose. I'm scared to give Mya - a 10.8lb dog a drug with chemicals that can treat a 20lb dog. I don't want to rock the boat and I know there are scary things that can happen with these drugs. Any opinions? |
I would not give trifexis at all. There have been so many dog deaths linked to it I pray for the day they pull it. Even though your dog has been on it for years with no problems it can suddenly happen and it's just not worth the risk. |
I would not use the product. The vet is correct though. If pup get heartworms anyway (med failure) the company won't pay for treatment if pup was underdosed. |
