I can't keep putting them through this!!! ***UPDATE***

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

I am at the end of my rope with the heart worm, flea & tick meds!!!!  I just don't know what to do.  Rooney does not tolerate any meds very well but did manage to keep down 1/2 of a Tri-heart Plus (for up to 25lbs) with his breakfast - tonight he'll get the other half with dinner and I'll hold my breath that he doesn't throw some or all of it up.  I'll skip a day to let his system rest and then start the process over cutting in 1/2 a Comfortis, dosing a.m. & p.m., which ALWAYS causes him to be sick but the vet says if it stays down for an hour or longer there should be coverage.  Rooney has done o.k. on the topical BUT after seeing it cause head tremors in Stuart - I'm too scared to use it any longer.

Stuart got his entire Trifexis tablet (heart worm, flea & tick all together) with his breakfast today.  Rooney can't take the Trifexis at all - makes him violently ill, Stuart has spit up a little bit on it UNTIL today.  I'm scared as he just did a big vomit all over his bed (which is now in the trash) and he is acting strange.  Trying to hide, repeatedly licking his lips, eyes glassy.  Dog Poop - I am getting mad.  I've never had this problem with any of our other dogs - what gives?********************

Stuart appears to have made a full recovery.  I tried to keep him calm and quiet yesterday but as the day went on he felt better and better so by early evening we even went to the dog park for a little while.  he ate his chicken and not so much the rice for breakfast and for dinner I mixed in a small amount of his kibble and raw topper to slowly get him back on his food.  I do want to check with the vet to see if we should give him a seperate heartworm pill in a week or does she feel that he is covered for now.  Next month I will try him on the Frontline but I am going to start slow and under dose him to watch for any head tremors.  Thanks everyone for all your support and advise - I truely don't know how I would survive without all of you!!!

Jane, We will be thinking of you all tonight. I hope he recovers fast, what a scary thing. You did good though. Sending doodle hugs!!! Feel better Stuart!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Stuart is home and is much better - thank you all!!!!  Vet says no dinner tonight - I'm sure he isn't going to like that and then tomorrow just a small serving of rice & chicken (OF COURSE I SAID "NO THANKS" TO THE RX FOOD - LMAO!!!).  She is so awesome (the vet), they refunded me over $100.00 for the Comfortis and Trifexis that I had bought.  She didn't have to do that!  She'll try to get the money back from the manufacturer.  She also had a copy of the notes and a CD burned with his x-rays just in case of emergency tonight!!!!

Your vet does sound awesome. I hope that Stuart has a peaceful night and all of you get some rest.

YEAH! Glad he is home. Nice vet to think of that and do all that-you are very lucky to have her!

Wow, it is like not a day goes by that some poor little dood is having trouble!  Paws crossed for a peaceful night for both Stuart and Rooney (and you too).  Hang in there.  It sounds like you are prepared for anything that can happen, so just try and relax a little bit. 

[Sharon & Monty]

Big hugs to all of you, so glad you took action and got him to the vet.  I'm praying this will work out ok, seems like you had early intervention and are now armed with loads of info. Take care, we're rooting for you!
