Guest starbuck Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Morning, folks. I've been up off and on with Starbuck last night because her stomach is bothering her and she's had some pretty unfortunate diarrhea. This seems to be happen every month the day after she takes her Trifexis, and I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and if there's anything I can give her in the meantime to make her feel a little better about life.

OwnedBySummer Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'd give her 1/4 to 1/2 cup of cooked white rice right away, then another serving with her dinner. Hope she feels better soon! Quote Lisa B.

GeorgeofNE Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Never used that heartworm med., but if my dog got diarrhea every month, I'd ask my vet about trying a different one! My last dog had one runny poo every month after his treatment, but he was super sensitive. George loves his Heartgard Plus chewable, and there are no side effects (for him anyway).

Walliered Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I use Advantage Multi and have no problems. It is good for everything and is all they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPDoggie Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 We had the same reaction to a flea-med... so switched... I'd definitely mention it to your vet and try a new heart worm med.

Guest starbuck Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks for the feedback, folks! She's already seeming to feel a little bit better (and had a solid poop as well), but I'll definitely get in touch with my vet and see what his recommendations are. And, you know, get more rice for the pantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
