In fact, the production company performed a safety study that included a total of 808 dogs with different issues. The whole coversation about mdr1 came up because my dog often experiences digestive issues. Hi! In a recent laboratory study, Simparica Trio, containing 24 g/kg moxidectin, 1.2 mg/kg sarolaner and 5 mg/kg pyrantel, and Heartgard Plus and Interceptor Plus (n = 6) were administered in six consecutive monthly oral doses at the labeled dose rates after receiving an inoculation of 50 ZoeLA strain D. immitis L3 on day 30 [].Dogs were necropsied approximately 9 months post-inoculation and .

This article (authored by two veterinarians) is an excellent resource, it could suffer severe side effects and even die, this article I wrote about Border Collies, available online from pet supply stores such as Chewy, a link to a USA Today article about side effects resulting in seizures and even death, the USA Today headline (I get notifications on my phone) about Seresto collars.

I plan to switch him over to Trifexis also. Our vet recommended Bravecto because he said it had been specifically tested on dogs with the MDR1 gene. It makes me nervous since I have seen/read plenty of negative things about bravecto and Im also worried to combine bravecto with interceptor. Additionally, it can also be given to cats and even pregnant or nursing animals. Basically, the idea is that heartworms take a few months to develop anyway, so every few months you get your dog tested instead of merely annually and ONLY treat for heartworms if bloodwork reveals that your dog has contracted heartworms.

Simparica Trio is generally well tolerated at the recommended dose; adverse reactions (t ransient ataxia and/or muscle fasciculation in dogs with a deficient multidrug -resistance-protein 1 (MDR1 -/-)) are only seen at overdoses. That indicates it is a strong chemical compound, so do watch for skin irritation. So it really depends on the individual dogs, and you know your dogs best!

As with any topical product, monitor your pet for signs of skin irritation, and give them a bath within 24 hours to wash it off if signs of irritation are seen. Congratulations on the new kitten. Since Collies and cats go together so well, I have to include this caution for cats: Some ingredients used to kill ticks, such as permethrin (used in K9 Advantix and other products) and amitraz (used in Certifect and the Preventic collar), are toxic to cats, which can be a problem in a household that includes both, especially if they are friendly with each other. If you have cats that share sleeping space with and/or like to groom your dogs, Advantix is probably not the best product for you.

The Whole Dog Journal points out that oral flea-control medications have been proven to be more effective than topical pesticides in both killing fleas and helping to control a household infestation more quickly. While this is true, the benefit of topical treatments is in their general safety. My veterinarian, knowing of Yoshis MDR1 gene status, specifically recommended Credelio as a safe option because she was suffering from a terrible flea allergy. The parasite protections that target multiple parasites with just one topical application or administration of a pill are extremely appealing due to their convenience. Until progress is achieved in ongoing studies, adjustments are made to the medications themselves, and the FDA warning is lifted, Ill have to leave Bravecto in the caution category.
