Ace is 6 months old. We started him on Trifexis on February 25th. The very next day he threw up bile very early in the morning. My vet told me that was a usual side effect and everything I read about Trifexis, said as much. When we gave Ace his next dose on March 25th, he was fine until 5 days later when he threw up. I didn't connect the incident with his dose of Trifexis because it was five days after the dose. He threw up once on that day. He got his next dose on April 25th. Exactly five days later he threw up. Because Inlof everything that happens with Ace on a calendar, I saw the connection between the bouts of vomiting after a dose of Trifexis. He threw up once on April 30th. Now that I began to see a pattern, I thought maybe it gives him an upset stomach but it didn't really concern me because he would puke once and that would be it.
Well on Monday, May 25th, I gave Ace his dose of Trifexis. Today, three days later, he pukes everytime. he eats. He has not kept down any food today. He had four separate bouts of puking. I know he's super hungry, so I fed him some plain rice and boiled chicken. That came up too and it's super yellow in color.
He's not lethargic, but he did sleep alot today. He has had energetic moments today. Right now he is bringing his ball to me because he wants to play fetch. He's running atound. He is drinking, but he cannot hold down any food. I was hoping he'd be able to hold down the chicken and rice.
The vet is closed so I have to wait until the am to talk to her. I am stressed and frustrated and feel bad for the little guy.
He seems to be doing better today. His spirits are up and he's eating and drinking. He wants to be more mobile, but we are trying to keep him off of his foot. We are hoping to see improvement in his paw in the next 48 hours.
We are noticing some discoloration around his mouth now. Has anyone ever seen this? It was all black.
