Trixie is sick from her heartworm/Iverhart

[Pam & Trixie]

This morning I tried to give Trixie her Chewable iverhart pill.  She wanted nothign to do with it.

 

So I saved it for Lunch & Cut it into 4ths.

I mixed it in with her Pumpkin & Plopped it in her food.

 

She still wanted nothing to do with it.

 

So I tried to put 1/4 of the pill down her throat ( I am experienced at doing this)  I think the problem was it was soft from the pumpkin & stuck to her throat.  I feel very bad now that I gave it to her.

 

5 Minutes later she threw up all her Breakfast (that she ate 5 hrs ago)

 

She then threw up more food about 20 minutes later.

 

And then lots of Liquid about 20 more minutes later.

 

I could tell she still did not feel good.

I let her out & now she has diarrhea : (

 

Since I only tried to give her 1/4 of the pill & she threw up 3 times after that & lots...I assume she did not get any of the meds....So Its wied that she has diarrhea to me.

 

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

I will get the other kind of Heartworm pill that I used to give my other dogs..The nice soft chewable kind & they protect against 1 less thing if I recall.

 

I assume I should give her that in a few days ( I will ask the vet) As she is not protected from heartworm if she didnt get thisose.

So you have not tried Interceptor?  That is what I give dood and chi and there have been no issues. And Chihuahua would have a reaction if there was one to be had because we just have that kind of bad luck with him....

Good luck and I hope poor Trixie feels okay.

Trixie is still not back to normal.  She acts & feels ok.  But her poops are not normal still.   Her best poop was the 1st one after her Sick Episode at night...which started 6 days ago.

Then she didnt go for 24 hrs ( was on the Bland diet)  was diarreah still...Then didnt go for 24 hrs again....Now she is going 1-2 times a day but still has diarreah.  She is on 1/2 Chicken & Rice 1/2 kibble for the last 3 days.

I added in some Kibble as she was so hungry- the rice & Chicken just wasnt feeling up her belly.

 

Im not sure what to think or do at this point.

Poor Trixie... and POOR YOU! I hope the next few days bring firmer poops and feeling better!
