Trifexis (heartworm med)

[*LabLoverKEB*]

We sell Trifexis at my hospital, I love it! It's a three in one so its a prevention for heart worms, ticks, and intentional parasites all in one! I use it on Levi too. The only (and not too common) reaction that we see is like stated before, vomiting. But again that's because the owner didn't give it with a meal.

I have no experience with this drug, but don't like to use combo type meds. I personally think using them would tend to cause more problems
than using one product for one purpose. I'll stick to Heartgard(Heartworm) and Vectra, (fleas).

A HUGE bonus to using an oral combo product is the fact that you don't have to use the topical pesticide on your pet. In households with children or cats, some of those topical pesticides can be toxic if ingested (Vectra 3D is one that if a cat ingests it while it's wet, it WILL kill a cat). So in that case, it's just so much safer. And in my experiences, they don't tend to cause any more problems... in fact, topicals tend to cause more problems because of the situations I described above. But again, it's all situational.

Another reaction is death I gave my perfectly healthy dog Trifexis and one month later he died after a horrible month of struggling. Please check the internet, Facebook, and you tube for more details of this. There are several vets now that will no longer use trifexis.
My dog started 24 hours after his first and only dose First came the surprise that he would no longer take his favorite treat, then he would no longer eat his favorite food had to change his diet The came the problem with his back legs just giving out from under him, then the liver failure and finally a seizure and death
He was in and out of the hospital over the month trying several things but nothing could save him.
