Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First this in my fiancé’s account but I’m making the review. I am not a vet or have any medical information regarding dogs but I am a registered nurse that works bedside in a ICU/stepdown ICU environment and also a current nurse practitioner student and I DO NOT RECCOMEND! My fiancé and I have two dogs, our female chocolate lab Bella and our male golden retriever Cooper. We got these for our chocolate lab who has been having seasonal allergies recently with a underbelly rash. She’s never been sensitive to food or medications but ended up with acute pancreatitis and colitis triggered by this medication. I will list her symptoms and health history Info below for reference because although she is mostly in good health she has had her fair share of vet visits and I want to provide full transparency of my pet. Bella is a 4 year old female 85lb chocolate lab Spayed No known food or drug allergies Fully up to date on vaccines and microchipped Hx: fecal worms when brought home as a puppy, UTI and dehydration in 2017 requiring a fluid bolus, itching and hair loss 2018, overweight with normal thyroid labs and normal routine labs, itching and rash fall 2020 requiring steroid shot and medication and UTI in 2020. Issues: She started to itch and have the rash that was recently treated again so my fiancé gave her the dosage for her weight as instructed for one full day which was this past Monday. Tuesday she started having constant foul smelling sulpher rotten egg gas despite no other changes environmentally, food, no new anything other than this and always supervised between myself, fiancé, or our cameras. She then by Tuesday night vomited for the first time. Did not think much of it and monitored her stools to make sure they were of normal consistency and they were at the time and encouraged hydration. Then Overnight into Wednesday was consistently vomiting and needing to go out every few hours and had lack of appetite but was still drinking and stools were still consistent so continued to monitor. Thursday she continued to vomit and our golden also did vomit so we were concerned perhaps they did get into something or maybe their water was contaminated so deep cleaned everything. She had no appetite only eating a bland food meal of rice and boiled ground beef. She began to have diarrhea. The vets were closed and hoped they’d be open on the 1st so we stuck it out and seeked out online vet service Friday when not open and our ER vet had a minimum 7hr wait and advised to continue what we were doing and reccomended unflavored pedialyte. OTC antacid Pepcid and otc anti-diarrheal. They’ll meds helped control the nausea but continued to be lethargic and would not take after the initial dose even in pill pocket treats or peanut butter and she is very food motivated since she’s been on a diet. We took her temp and no fever at the time but her ears were very warm. By Friday night she was having bloody stools unable to control it and leaking all over the house. If you have ever smelled a GI bleed or in medical field you just know by the smell. She also had extremely loud churning bowel sounds and she trembled like she was in pain when it was happening. We ended up waiting hours to get her seen since I didn’t feel comfortable waiting until Monday for her vet appt and we also have a 3.5 golden retriever and wanted to make sure it wasn’t contagious but our golden has been fine and he never recieved the product and still acting normal. Anyways we get to the vet with Bella and the fecal sample. Get a call within an hour and told she has pancreatitis and now running a fever. Luckily I can help out with her but I am now giving her fluid blouses at home! Along with antibiotics for colitis that also was sparked and a anti-diarrheal paste to help her intestines heal, and she also received a anti-nausea shot that’s good for 24 hours. We have to see how she does until Monday if she gets worse or does not improve we need to go in for more lab work and go from their. As a medical professional I would stay away from this if your pet has a known history of GI upset or if any medical history no matter how little or complex talk with your vet first or see what they would reccomend. If you do choose to use this product please do so with caution as you never know how a medication or new product will effect your pet and monitor after giving. Follow the dosage instructions and give with food. My bad review will be solely as dog parent who is sad about the outcome and would like to educate of what happened in our circumstance and won’t be using for either dog in the future. But as a medical professional just letting you know that we understand these things can happen with anything new depending on your pet. I hope your pets stay healthy and don’t suffer from any complications if you do use this product as there are some good reviews here and that’s why we decided to try it.
