Thanks so much for posting those pictures, they are very beautiful dogs! That gaze from all three of them looks like “Don’t start no s—t, won’t be no s—t”, I love it! That month of waiting for the Nexgard to work its way out of their systems must have felt endless for you.
I have never used Seresto on my dogs, in fact, we gave up flea collars as soon as soon as we could, but living in Missouri, you really need something for those nasty little critters.
It is odd how dogs react to different medications, or even how they manifest symptoms to what’s going on in their bodies. We had a Aussie mix whose low thyroid level caused him to lose weight not gain weight as normally happens. We came close to losing him because his levels had been fine six months before and more blood work was not the first thing one would think to do.
Thank-you! They ran tests to rule out any dog virus before admitting it was the Nexgard but you would have to. There are five Vets in this practice. One I have known for 30 years and the other is a personal friend. Both assured me that Seresto was safe but there can be the rare occasion where a dog is allergic. The deaths we are seeing now are suspected to be from the counterfeit collars. Neither Vet has recommended anymore monthly chews for fleas but highly recommended the collars. My girls have worn theirs since October just fine. I did watch them closely for the first week or two though. I’m in S.E. Tennessee and the fleas here last summer were awful. I have the lighted flea traps in the house and puff food grade Diatomaceous Earth under the furniture. I’m going to powder their yard in a few days to try to get ahead of them. We have never had a yard infestation like last year. I flea combed until I thought my arm would fall off and gave baths in blue Dawn. I still couldn’t control it until the Seresto collars. Fleas were gone in two days.
I see that gaze you see. :-) They are SO serious if it comes to varmints but they are the sweetest natured dogs I have ever had. I had a Jack Russell prior to these and got these after he passed at 14. They have a prey drive like the JRT but a sweeter nature. They aren’t as combative.
