Mollie Peacenik went to the vet. She was given all the attention--she sat in
Mr. Naturals lap--she now weighs 29 lbs as of today. She has gained 9 poumds
since her arrival here. The people at the vet's fell in love with her. Of course
she was bathed on Sunday. She pranced and showed off--very girly. Did well
with the receiving of 12 week old shots. They gave us Tifexis for Heart Worm
prevention, worm and flea prevention. I had heard of it, but couldn't place it.
My cat Daisy, cannot take any of these multiple products
due to her heart disease.
Mollie is the picture of health. The vet said they were free, but that rang a bell.
First thing I did after we got Mollie---oh, I'm leaving out the part where Mr.
Natural had her on the leash--and Miss Mollie-Lolly got loose and headed
for the very active 4 lane highway. Not good. And Mr. Natural tackled her.
Yes, tackled her --he dove face first in the pavement to save "my baby".
Mollie looked completely startled. She didn't know how she ended up
on his chest. He said I looked equally startled. I definitely didn't see that
coming.
On arriving home, I looked up Trifexis--to my horror I read about 700 dogs
dying within a week of taking Trifexis. They followed one litter of 10
puppies--7 were still living,. Those 7 did not receive Trifexis. The other
3 received Trifexis Free from the vet. And with a week they were all
dead. I am not saying that every dog that received Trifexis died. But
there is a reason thet Trifexis is free. They need some positive statistics.
I will go with something older and one that has positive results. One
dog dying is too many is that one dog is your dog..
All for now.

Note--Pic of Mollie as she plays with her first empty box of puppie
Milk Bones. One of her favorite toys.
There are several claims of negative effects regarding Trifexis. It seems like the condition worsens when your pet is already heartworm positive when you give it to them. At any rate, I'm sure Mollie loved the attention she got from everyone on her first trip to the vet. She's very lucky to be loved by someone like you, Kate. And poor Daisy, I hope she is feeling better nowadays. Thanks for sharing that! All the best! :)
