If your dog had heart worms then this would make perfect sense that trifexis killed your dog.I'm sure you had your dog tested, but sometimes with test,they will show up negative even when they are really positive.If you find yourself in this type of situation again I would have a necropsy done to determine the cause of death.I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this with your dog, Michelle. Thank you for sharing this. His demise will hopefully help many others to avoid a similar fate. (And wow: the red flag couldn't be much clearer, could it?). All the best to you and your husband in dealing with what must be an immense grief. Just know that, at the time, you knew what you knew and acted accordingly. Who wouldn't trust a vet in a familiar practice when he recommends something to "help" your beloved dog? Please forgive yourself for that misplaced trust. You did your best in the circumstances and are now wiser.
