[NAGDU] Nexguard experience

[Deanna Lewis]

Hey Tracy,
I have been using Nexguard with Mambo for about six months or so. I think it is working alright with him. Although, he will sometimes vomit within the first 48 hours after taking it. But, he vomits at other times too. He has a bad habit of eating acorns, so those don't always agree with him. /smiles/ I think I will keep up with the Nexguard as it's easy and doesn't always cause vomiting.

I decided to try the Nexguard flea and tick pill this year.  It seemed like a good alternative to the nasty flea goo.  I gave it to both my dogs last month.  24 hours later, Krokus vomited 3 times, and was trembling and obviously uncomfortable.  The vet did not find anything wrong, but gave him an anti-nausea shot, and then he was OK.

I am not sure if it was the pill, or if he picked something up somewhere.  I asked 3 vets, and they didn't know if it was the pill, either.  However, vomiting is a possible reaction.

So I decided the pill wasn't such a good idea for us, and took them back for a credit at my vet's.  It's back to the Cedarcide for us, which seems like the least obnoxious alternative.

I did ask around, and other users have not had problems. So who knows.

Just thought I'd share.

Tracy
