Hi Shirley,
I would very much like to access that audio. I live in Australia and my cat died 3 hours after taking this tablet. It is called Comfortis here. There are many deaths online or serious illness in dogs and cats and I plan to ensure this is off the market.My cat was only 6 months old and perfectly healthy. She let our a horrifying and painful scream and was dead instantly with vomit beside her. Gave her this tablet at 5.30 and she died just after 8pm. I could not afford the $1500 autopsy to find out what killed her but from what I've read online by users I am convinced it was this medication.

I have a story for my animals too. One dog was lathargic for days after dose of the 6th cycle, and the other didn't eat for three days. She adamantly wouldn't let me give it to her and I didn't listen and now feel terrible. Also, after the 6th cycle I started noticing large patches where her hair stopped growing. Needless to say we stopped go on. The product immediately. Now I have 240$ of product sitting in the drawer. :( this was prescribed by the bet so I didn't even think about checking it.

It's one thing too run down the product what do you do for a dog that craves dirt.every pile of wild rabbit poo I find is filled with worms chocolate to my dog .I held brownie while I watched him almost die from parvo all the vets charge 150 too 200 a month for visits it sounds like the best things for me is too just put him down now so he won't suffer any heart worms he's only 4 months old we just don't want our animals to suffer. Do you always call your doctor a liar. it may be the leaset of all the other chances of them dying a real sad dog owner eddie

The vet started my dog on Trifexis 2 years ago when she was 11. She is now 13 and I have taken her off. She took the medication for 1 1/2 years. She is still not well, but I think she may be a little better. During the time she was on Trifexis, she experienced seizures, hypersensitivity, and vomiting. I had no idea that this could be a side effect of the Trifexis. My vet told me that at her age she probably had a brain tumor that was causing the seizures. Anyway, she had her teeth cleaned at the same time she started on Trifexis. Her labs were perfectly normal. 1month ago, she had to have some minor surgery and her labs were terrible. The vet said that she had chronic pancreatitis. I realized that all of her symptoms occurred after starting on Trifexis, so I asked him about it and he said that many of his clients were on Trifexis and that he had never seen any problems. He suggested that I put her on a low fat diet which cost me a fortune and she would not eat. So, I went to the Internet and looked up Trifexis and found that many people had trouble with it. I took her off of it and I have changed vets since. When I requested a different heart worm med from the new vet, she thought that I wanted to start Trifexis and she said that she needed to caution me against starting Trifexis on my pet at her age. I truly believe that all of my pet's problems occurred as a result of Trifexis.

Thanks Jan. I found your page, linked in my post, to be quite valuable in helping me pull together the disparate pieces of the story. Thanks for putting it out there.
