Is Revolution flea medicine safe for my Corgi after a vaccine reaction?

Hi there. While there's technically no reason that these two medications can't be used together, they are both heartworm preventatives - so there's quite a bit over overlap in what they do, and both should not be needed at the same time. If your pup is currently on Interceptor and you want to add a second medication to cover fleas, I would recommend using something like Nexgard or Bravecto - these are flea/tick meds only, so you wouldn't be treating her unnecessarily for heartworms with two different meds.

Technically, all heartworm preventatives (even those with ivermectin) are safe in dogs with an MDR1 gene mutation since the effective dose of medication in heartworm is significantly lower than that which would cause neurotoxicity. However, most vets will preferentially choose selamectin (Revolution) or milbemycin (Interceptor) based products for MDR1 mutant dogs over ivermectin (Heartgard) based products. If Tasha has historically been very sensitive to heartworm preventatives, I would advise giving her flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention 2 weeks apart rather than simultaneously. Your vet will be able to perform a blood test for heartworm disease prior to starting Tasha on a heartworm preventative, as all are prescription based.

Those two products are usually fine to use together. However in some very sensitive dogs that could cause muscle tremors and shaking. I would wait at least 2-3 days after applying the Revolution before placing a collar on Cadbury. If he has any tremors/shaking remove the collar and alert your veterinarian. If revolution is not working for your flea/tick control you could consider adding on nexguard which is an oral flea and tick medication or even a Seresto collar.

Hello. I would err on the side of safety & separate these products by two weeks. Some dogs have a gene mutation called MDR1 that can cause a problem if more than 1 medication is administered too close together. Some breeds need more caution than others ( like collie & collie-like dogs ), but it is best just to be cautious. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi yes you can use both treatments on Daphne but i suggest separating the application by two weeks. You can also consider using a product like Proheart6 - an injectable heartworm prevention given at the vet hospital that lasts for 6mths. I find that revolution works well for fleas, but doesn't cover all types of ticks. Hope this helps!

Revolution does not protect against fleas, so I'd recommend using a medication such as Nexgard which protects against fleas and ticks (including American dog ticks). It's a monthly oral flea treatment program. That way, you don't need to combine two medications to give Candy protection against fleas and ticks. Typically, I do not recommend using two different flea treatment programs togethers. The American dog tick can spread diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Tularemia. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

He doesn't need both Bravecto and Revolution at the same time. I would instead switch him to a heartworm preventative only such as Heartgard or Triheart and give him Bravecto for flea/tick coverage. Revolution does heartworm and fleas really well but just not ticks, so in order to get full coverage I would just do them separate. Another option would be to do Revolution and a Preventic collar which will give you good tick coverage. Lyme vaccine is a 1 year vaccination, I am not sure why they told you this is a 1 time thing. I would request your pet get the Lyme (Borrelia burgdorferi )vaccine annually as it is recommended by the AAHA vaccine guidelines. Here is a link to their website as well. Scroll to page 6 for information on the Lyme vaccine in particular--> https://www.aaha.org/globalassets/02-guidelines/canine-vaccination/vaccination_recommendation_for_general_practice_table.pdf I hope that this helps and best of luck with your pet Asher and keeping her protected. Take care. : )
