Can my pregnant dog safely continue or start Trifexis treatment?

Hi there. Trifexis has a very wide margin of safety (a dog could eat an entire box and not have any serious issues, in most cases), so it's unlikely that this will cause any problems. The most likely side effect would be vomiting or GI upset, in the first day or two after taking the meds. If she's acting normal so far, you probably won't see any issues at all. It's fine for her to continue with her normal daily routine as far as eating, exercising, etc.

Hi there. Yes, that should be okay - Trifexis doesn't have any harmful interactions with those meds. The only possible issue I can see is that all three of them have stomach upset as a potential side effect, so if your girl has a sensitive stomach or has a history of vomiting when you give the Trifexis, then it may be better to wait until she's finished with her current meds to give it. But if not, it should be fine to go ahead and give it today if you want to. :)

It should be ok for her to take it. Even if she happens to have some heart worm microfilariae, they should be killed off with the Trifexis without causing any complications. It takes longer than three months for adult heart worm to develop, so therefore there is no danger of any adult heart worm to be resident in your dog's aorta,

It is safe to use both bravecto and trifexis together. I would continue giving the Trifexis as you have been and also their bravecto as instructed. This will ensure you've got heartworm coverage along with flea and tick protection. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Fiona. She is unlikely vomiting from the Trifexis if she hasn't in the past. That is a small dose change for her. There are numerous causes of vomiting such as dietary indiscretion, an infection, stress or something more serious such as eating a foreign object. If she still refuses to eat or cannot keep food or water down, then she will need to see a veterinarian today. Being such a small breed dog, it is easy for her to become dehydrated. If she seems to be feeling better, give her small frequent amounts of water and food throughout the day today. I hope this information helps!

Frontline and Revolution are safe for use in pregnant dogs. If you're already using a heartworm preventative with ivermectin, please continue to do so as it is safe for both the mom and pups and will help prevent her from passing parasites to the pups. And if they is due for vaccinations, getting them while she is pregnant will boost her and the pups immunity to disease. For tapeworms, Drontal is safe to use during all life stages, including pregnancy.

The age and pound limit for puppies is 8 weeks and 5 lbs. It would appear that Luna is within this range. The most common listed side effects for Trifexis include itchiness, anorexia, lethargy, redness and diarrhea. Often drugs may have other side effects that are considered uncommon and/or rare. There is also the possibility of allergic reactions to medications. If Luna appears to be in true distress to you, I would recommend getting her into a vet particularly if these side effects happened immediately after using the drug. Intervention may be required, and time is of the essence in smaller, younger patients. Hope this helps.
