hoku's mum Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 This may sound odd, but as we are going through Hoku's Angle/Devil adolescent swings, we have noticed a possible correlation between giving him his monthly Heartguard and Frontline, and a noticeable upswing in the devil side. We have been hiking alot, and he has been *great*, excellent recall, polite to other dogs and hikers, we haven't had to use the 50 line in a few weeks, even around cattle on our neighbours ranch. He's just a joy to be with. We gave him his monthlies on Saturday, and yesterday he took off up to the road (a big no-no), blew off my call, pranced around and would not come to me for anything. Barked at the neighbors, ran away, just b*a*d dog stuff. I was so mad I could spit. As a matter of fact, I probably did! My question is, has anyone else ever noticed any behavior changes with either Heartguard or Frontline? Most likely it's just coincidence and the adolescent rollercoaster (he IS 16 months old ). But he seems 'out of sorts' the last couple of days, and his last outburst of badness was around his monthlies, just makes me wonder....

Vickkers Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 hmmm I don't know but it's about time for the girls monthlies and they've been sooo good lately. Guess I'll check it out and let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 OK, I was sitting here thinking "monthlies" was a really anthropomorphic (and inaccurate) euphamism for heat. Obviously I read Vikkers' post first. There might be something to that. Have you tried switching meds? I do know a couple different people whose dogs are allergic/sensitive to Interceptor, and if you are using Heartgard Plus, my vet doesn't sell it anymore because the "plus" part was apparently not agreeing with some of her clients.

Vickkers Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 ROTFMLAO... I just re-read my post and I didn't even realize what it sounded like. It'd be a miracle if it were the case and I'd have some serious words for our vet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
