[nagdu] Heartworm pills

[Darla Rogers]

Thank you, Cheryl; I want to look these up; I'm wondering if Tr5ifexix is
similar to Ccomfortus?  I don't recall it dealing with intestinal parasites,
too, but that may be so.

Tracy,

I'm using Trifexis now for Fallon, and it does have a rather odd nonfood
sort of smell, which is a bit disconcerting. But the Trifexis I give is a
combination heartworm/flea medication. It also includes prevention of
intestinal parasites. My vet recommended it, so I'm giving it a try. I do
wonder about it being able to take care of so many critters with one pill,
so I'm ready to switch to something else if Fallon exhibits any odd behavior
or obvious physical discomfort. I thought that Trifexis wasn't made solely
for heartworm prevention.  Just wanted to mention that.
Hope Benny's up to his regular cat self right away.
