We have a 5 month old female EB who has what I think is an adverse reaction to Nextgard flea and tick prev medicationā¦.she has had a couple of seizures since we gave her the Nextgard and , after reading many online threads about the toxins in the flea and tick meds., I really believe that the seizures were caused by the Nextgard. As an aside, we are giving the puppy Kreppa ( anti-seizure med), and sheās not had any recurrence of a seizure.
Based on information in online threads on this site, as well as other forums, we have decided to try the Earth MD Outdoor Shield fro flea and tick prevention going forward. We live in Texas, so fleas and ticks can be an issue year roundā¦.
I am reaching out to find out what folks are using for heart worm prevention, par if you are using something other than Heartguard, Advantage, etcā¦something that is made up of natural ingredients like Outdoor Shield.
We would really like to get our EBās off of any of the chemical- based preventatives to the extent we can.
thanks in advance for anything you are able to share.
