Isoxazoline drugs

WHAT IS A ISOXAZOLINE DRUG?

For once I will give you Google Ai view on answering the questions so you can see by putting into Google yourself and then read the answers.  But the answers are below.  Then I will give you my take on it. 

Isoxazolines (Google Ai), are a modern class of anti-parasitic veterinary drugs used to kill fleas, ticks, and mites on dogs and cats. Common brand-name products in this group include Bravecto, NexGard, Simparica, and Credelio.  
​Let's look what they do?  Google AI: They block specific nerve and muscle chloride channels (GABA and glutamate-gated) in insects and arachnids.

Reported issues:  Again Google AI: Rare adverse reactions include muscle tremors, ataxia (loss of coordination), and seizures, even in pets with no history of neurological problems. 

​What does seizure mean? Another word for EPILEPSY


OKAY SO HERE IS MY VIEW NOW

I have been writing on my blog for some times the effects of these products listed above.  Sadly the side effects are many, you can google them as I did above.  Its Googles words not my own. 

Drugs circulate in blood around the dogs body.  It passes through the brain.  

​When any product lists neurological damage what does that mean for your dog? Inflammation in the brain and epilepsy.  Thats it in a nutshell. We can skirt around and pretend it does not happen or exist.  

Being a behaviourist we are seeing some sadly which effects behaviour because its effecting the brain.  So we have to say to you stop these products.  Im not sure in all honesty the side effects can be reversed as brain damage is brain damage.  

But as new pet owners you're starting off on the right foot by buying a puppy from us because we can remind you of side effects of products. 

Im asked all the time so why is the veterinary profession still selling them ? The answer is not all dogs react, and they may say it's a small percent that have a reaction. So in their opinion the dog that has it is bad luck.  But if you own that dog who had the reaction bad luck just doesn't cut it.!  It is upsetting. 

Some vets try to blame breeders by saying it's epilepsy.  Not addressing the cause of the fitting.  Thats very sad. 

Are some dog breeds more sensitive towards drugs than others?  I used to think no.  The evidence is out there that hundreds of breeds and cross breeds are having side effects.  But I would always say the Vizsla, the Bracco are on the sensitive side.  The Bracco probably more than the Vizsla.   Is this something that can be changed?  Not at all. 

So where does it leave us with a new puppy and what to do?  

• Worm count do not treat.
• Treat holistic. 
• For internal parasites use Grapefruit seed extract by higher nature.  For external parasites try natural shampoo. 
• If you have a flea infestation treat with more mild product.
• Consult a holistic vet if unsure. 

Remember you have the right to refuse any product you're told to buy.  

All Silvestre puppies are treated here so will come to you parasite free.  If you go to a vet and they persuade you to worm the dog on the table, you are over dosing your pet.  You must stand up for your pet.  Your given dates of worming from us and products we have used.   When your puppy is 12 weeks of age you should worm count.  Use Feclabs or worm count company. 

​We live in a sad world where toxins are every where we look.  We need to be smart and make sure we educate ourselves before we get a puppy and then stand up for the rights of our puppy.
