Caused life threading GI upset

published

The ticks in my area are very bad so when my vet suggested this for my 8 year old rottweiler, I happily agreed. Within 12 hours of the first dose, she had a brief bout of diarrhea. Then, 1-2 weeks later, more diarrhea with blood. I didn’t connect the dogs and gave her a second dose. Within 1 week of her second dose she had severe bloody diarrhea and stopped eating. Shortly after that, she started vomiting and could not keep down more than 1-2tsp of food, and was very lethargic. After a 2-day stay at the veterinary hospital she is almost ready to come home, but I will never give this to my dog again. Before starting NexGard, she never had any health or GI problems.

Do not give your dogs NexGard

published

This drug for flea and tick has been pulled from the USA market due to adverse reactions. I have my greyhound just one of these and she had diarrhea (the worrying kind) and blood in her stools. I am off to the vet with her this morning (a new vet - who has said they do not recommend this drug to their customers). As opposed to my old vet who pushes this as better than using flea and tick on the coat - more modern I was told. The reactions that some dogs can have are neurological in nature and also can eventually cause death. I stress - do not use this drug on your pets.

Nextgard killed my dog

published

This morning I found my dog dead after having given him a 1/3 chewable pill 3 days ago. Nextgard should be removed from the market. It's pure poison for dogs

My dog developed seizures

published

For 15 months we gave our Siberian Husky Nexguard Spectra on the advice of Jervis Bay Veterinary Clinic NSW Australiathe Seizures were so very terrible that “ Tzar “, is now on 100mg of Phenobarbital per day.

We never used it again. He’s 3 in Jan 2021. And we now visit Bomaderry Veterinary Hospital in Bomaderry NSW Australia.
He is now reduced to 50mg per day for the last month.
You need to pull your product from sale immediately. Seriously, I mean it . It’s toxic. And made my baby very very sick. You have cost us thousands of dollars and emotional pain. And I know it’s nextguard,
Even the vet said it was most likely

Do not give to your dogs

published

My Cavalier days after giving him tick and flea nexgard started with severe diarrhea. After a few days took him to the vet ER vital signs were good. Thought perhaps backend was weak from so much diarrhea. He now can hardly walk. I will take him to our own vet ASAP. I sure hope he returns to normal. I am very afraid of all this!
This should be taken off the market!

Horrible

published

Franny is her name. She had no health issues till Nexgard was given. She was very lethargic at beginning for about six days, appetite was fine, then she started bumping into walls and objects in her path, took her to vet and then animal hospital where they found out she couldn’t see out if her right eye. Took her to an eye center where they ran some tests in both eyes, concluding that she had lost vision on her right eye and had limited vision on left one, the test showed the eyes being fine though. Now she’s very depressed, peeing in the house and walking aimlessly all day. Next stop is the neurologist who agreed this medication is a POISON. We’re hoping for the best outcome but her health is declining rapidly

Dog had terrible anxiety and a seizure after NexGard

published

My 78 pound mixed breed dog had two doses of NexGard without a problem. The third time he had terrible anxiety for over a week and then had a grand mal seizure. Over time he has recovered. My other two dogs had no reaction. One out of three is not acceptable. Beware of this product. I'm still waiting for these chemicals to completely leave his system before my vet and I are sure he's ok.

Dangerous product

published

My young Labrador did not want the chew. Had to mix it with treats and force him to eat it. Since then he has lost appetite, and losing hair from constant itching. Have read other reviews and shocked by the potential damage/death caused by Nexguard spectra. Dangerous product.

Works great!!!

published

My 2 year old Boxer was literally infested with eggs, ticks and fleas. They were groups of them on him and he would not allow me to touch him for longs periods of time. Neither frontline nor K9 advantix worked. I decided to try Nexgard. Within 24 hours they had all disappeared but 2 that were stuck in between his paws. The 2 I removed we're dead and we're "dry". Would definitely recommend, I have not seen any negative signs, but always keep an eye on my pets to in case of side effects.

Stick to the correct dosage, it can make your dog sick if you give it a higher dose than it is supposed to have

Our Standard Poodle doesn't like the NexGard chewable. He loves his HeartGard chewable. He will even sort it out of soft food after I break it into smaller pieces. Is there another flavor available? Any other ideas?
