Can dogs have side effects from taking Tri-Heart Plus 51-100?

I gave my dog his monthly dose of Tri-Heart Plus 51-100 a few hours ago, and I noticed he seems a bit more tired than usual. He typically perks up for his evening walk, but tonight he seems a little off. Are there common side effects I should be aware of when giving him this medication, or does this sound like something I should be worried about?

Answer

It's not uncommon for dogs to appear a bit tired after taking Tri-Heart Plus, but if this symptom persists or worsens, it might be best to consult with a veterinarian.

  • Lethargy or tiredness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Diarrhea or vomiting
  • Tremors or ataxia (loss of coordination)

These symptoms, while typically mild, can indicate your dog's system is reacting to the medication. It's important to monitor any changes in behavior or health after administering a new or ongoing treatment.

If you're concerned about your dog's reaction, consider booking a consultation at Dial A Vet for further guidance.
