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!
