10-13-16: Sharing latest story of Seizures resulting from HeartGard Plus

Hi all - Thanks to Jody Smith for sharing another sad story of seizures resulting from HeartGard Plus:

"I have been reading your blog and just had to reply. 

My 8 1/2 year old black lab started having seizures in August, 2016.  It took me three months but I have finally seen the pattern.  Every seizure has happened with 24 to 48 hours after receiving the Heartgard Plus medicine.

Poor guy is taking phenobarbital and Keppra now.  I see the emergency vet for follow up tomorrow and will be sharing my discovery.  NO MORE HEARTGARD for my dog. I hope we find that he is seizure free for November and can start cutting back on the seizure medication." - Jody Smith

PS: my Golden Retriever Lola is still with us @ 14 + and has lived a happy life since I stopped giving her HeartGard products for flea & tick and heart worm more than 7 years ago! 

Latest regarding 'EaseSure' from PetAlive

Hi all - as mentioned in past posts I had been giving Lola monthly doses of 'EaseSure' from PetAlive. 

Again, Lola had stopped having seizures six years ago due primarily ( if not entirely) to my stoppage of her flea & tick and heart worm medications, and (based on online research) I had, at the same time, started giving her 'EaseSure' from PetAlive. Since the combination of all three was working, I was afraid to stop giving her the "Ease Sure". 

Recently however, due to 'EaseSure' from PetAlive not being available and on backorder, I decided to see if there was any negative result of NOT giving her the "EaseSure". This was 3 months ago and, to date, no signs of seizures. I do not know if Lola has gotten immune to the past seemingly positive effects of "EaseSure" or if her system has improved as a result of years of not giving her any flea tick and heart worm meds, or a combination of all of the above. In any event, heading toward age 14 (98 in Human year conversion) Lola still has no signs of seizure and Lola's only major concerns are all age-related: loss of most of her hearing and bad hips that prevent her from getting up by herself - unfortunately now, I always have to lift her rear hind area in order for her to get up. Once up, she is pretty much fine... I have now been giving her natural pain aids to help her daily routine and they seem to be helping her, no doubt in final months left on Planet Earth. 

Good luck to all and please do not hesitate to write should you have any questions:
