Bivirkningerne af Advantix-parasitbehandling

 af simone den 7. maj 2014 |

Alle kender den irritation og nød, som lopper forårsager vores hundevenner, og faren for lammelse eller død, som flåter kan føre til. Parasitter såsom lopper, myg, lus, sandfluer, bidende fluer og flåter spreder sygdom, når de bider og suger blod, så det er vigtigt ikke bare at dræbe dem, men også forhindre dem i at bide og fodre i første omgang. 

Advantix er et stærkt forebyggende og parasiticid, der påvirker nervesystemet i disse grimme små blodsugere, der lammer og dræber dem. Advantix kombinerer den aktive ingrediens imidacloprid, der bruges til at kontrollere voksne lopper og larver i den pålidelige og populære behandling. Fordel, med permethrin, en af de mest effektive pyrethroider - en type insekticid, der også fungerer som et frastødende middel eller mod fodring. 

Brugt månedligt påføres Advantix direkte på hundens hud i nakken, eller for store hunde er doseringen spredt til fire punkter langs ryggen. Opløsningen distribueres derefter via hundens oliekirtler gennem huden, og dækker hele kroppen inden for 24 timer for at give ugers beskyttelse. Alle lopper, der omgiver applikationsområdet, dræbes inden for fem minutter, og de fleste lopper dør inden for 12 timer. Advantix dræber stadig 90 procent af flåter efter 28 dage, og op til 95 procent af myg afvises fra at bide.

Advantix er specifikt udviklet til hunde og er ikke beregnet til katte eller andre dyr. Faktisk er det giftigt for katte og kan være dødeligt for dem, hvis de indtages. Enhver behandlet hund skal adskilles fra katte, indtil opløsningen tørrer, i tilfælde af, at katten plejer og slikker applikationsområdet. 

Det er ikke kun ubehag 

Lopper er den største årsag til hudsygdom hos kæledyr. Ud over kløe og forværring, de slipper løs, kan loppeinfektioner give rødme, sår, skællende hud og lugt til hunde. Lopper transmitterer også bændelorm, og nogle hunde har loppe-allergi dermatitis, en allergisk reaktion på loppebid. 

Canine Vector-Borne Diseases, eller CVBD, beskriver sygdomme, der overføres gennem blodfødende parasitter. Almindelige inkluderer Lyme-sygdom (form af gigt) og borreliose, bartonellose, ehrlichiose (angriber værtens hvide blodlegemer), babesiose og anaplasmose (angriber værtens røde blodlegemer), leishmaniose (mavesår) og rickettsiose (plettet feber). Disse kan udvikle sig til meget alvorlige helbredsproblemer, hvis de ikke behandles. Ved også at arbejde som et frastødende middel reducerer Advantix risikoen eller parasites bidning og fodring og reducerer derfor risikoen for sygdom for din hund.

Bivirkninger

 

Advantix er en sikker behandling, men ligesom os har hver hund en individuel tolerance eller følsomhed over for medicin og kan være overfølsom eller allergisk . Selvom det er ekstremt sjældent, når Advantix anvendes i den anbefalede dosis, skal du straks kontakte din dyrlæge, hvis din hund har en bivirkning.

Brug ikke Advantix på hvalpe yngre end syv uger, og tal med din dyrlæge, før du administrerer det, hvis du allerede bruger andre loppe- og flåtebekæmpelsesmidler eller til ældre, medicinske, syge og svækkede hunde (især dem med hjerte-, lever- eller nyresygdom) ). Og husk, hold Advantix væk fra din hunds øjne og mund, og det er DEFINITIVT IKKE til katte.

Hudirritation

Den mest almindelige bivirkning er en vis mindre hudirritation på anvendelsesstedet, såsom rødme, kløe, misfarvning af huden, udslæt, et fedtet udseende eller noget hårtab. Disse irritationer er normalt midlertidige og kan også aftage efter vask af din hund (Advantix er vandtæt fra 48 timer efter påføring, men et bad kan lette enhver irritation). Hvis disse irritationer imidlertid forværres eller vedvarer, skal du kontakte din dyrlæge. 

Alvorlige bivirkninger

Alvorlige bivirkninger med Advantix er ekstremt sjældne . Det følgende kan være tegn på overdosering / toksicitet eller en allergisk reaktion, så kontakt straks din dyrlæge, hvis du bemærker noget af disse - 

  • Slagrengøring - Dette kan forekomme, hvis din hund slikker anvendelsesområdet, da Advantix har en bitter smag for at afskrække indtagelse, men afføring kan også skyldes overdosering eller en allergisk reaktion.
  • sløvhed
  • En markant stigning eller fald i kropstemperatur
  • Opkast eller diarré
  • manglende koordination
  • ophidselse
  • kramper

Den vigtigste ting er altid at følge doseringsanbefalinger og anvisninger på etiketten. Advantix fås i forskellige doseringer afhængigt af hundens vægt, så sørg for at bruge den rigtige. Selvom det er sikkert, skal du tale med din dyrlæge, hvis din hund er gravid eller ammende før brug. Advantix er også vandtæt, så efter 48 timer efter påføring kan du bade din hund som normalt. Men hvis din hund er en ægte vandelsker, kan det være nødvendigt at genanvende inden for en måned. 

Månedlig behandling med Advantix holder din hund fri for lopper, flåter, lus, myg samt sand og bidende fluer. Disse parasitter bliver ikke kun dræbt, men de bliver forhindret i at bide, fodre og sprede sygdomme. Du vil være glad for at vide, at din hund er sikker, men de bliver endnu gladere med deres komfortable, bekymringsløse og nu kløefri livsstil.

Vores laboratorium spiser kun omkring halvdelen af sit normale måltid efter behandling med advantix. Kan dette være normalt. Det har også været 90 grader. Tak

Kann es sein, dass es bei der Einnahme (golden retriever, 5 Jahre alt )von advantix zu epileptischen oder ähnlichen Anfällen kommt? Ist meinem Hund Bobby vor zwei Tagen passiert. Er bekommt advantix seit 4 Jahren.

Jeg mistede min hund i dag 6/8/2018 25 minutter efter at have brugt Advantix, hun faldt om, hendes hoved væltede til siden, kastede op flere gange, dyrlægen sagde, at hun havde neurologiske problemer og tvivler på, at det var loppen og flåten medicin.Jeg havde brugt det i årevis uden problemer, denne gang havde hun det fint hele morgenen, indtil jeg tog det på, jeg var nødt til at få hende til at sove, det var så slemt. Ikke sikker på om Advantix eller ej, men vær forsigtig med at bruge noget af det her, I aften sidder jeg her med et knust hjerte og ville ønske, at jeg aldrig satte det på hende.

I have a 5-6lb dog and I used the appropriate dose for her. A few hours after I put it on her she was panting a lot and then she was having twitching or little tremors and she won’t walk. Has anyone heard of this response from the advantix? Another dog was having issues too and was acting funny, hiding under the bed, and just not being herself,

My dog had a similar reaction. He was itching/biting the application areas , twitching and not wanting to walk. After bringing him to the emergency vet & getting a dx Of luxating patella & bringing him to the regular vet for a follow up appointment and recommended X-ray, combined cost of $500, I just knew it was not the problem. I remembered that we had applied the K9 Advantix (which I did mention to the emergency vet) and started to research allergic reactions. The only remedy suggested was to wash the “pesticide” off my dog with Dawn dish soap. I did that immediately. I also called the vet and the manufacturer. My poor dog-if only I figured it out sooner & washed the poison off right away he wouldn’t have suffered so long. Good news is that after a few days (5) he was back to his old self.

I used advantix on both my 10lb dogs. My older dog who was 6 , had a seizure and now has problems with coordination, and has fevers on and off. The seizure happened 2 years ago after the last dose of the season and she has never been the same since. My younger dog shook her head non stop for a whole week day and night !! :( and then it subsided to every 5 minutes for the next few days and then kept subsiding from there. It has been a horrible experience!! Of course Bayer takes no responsibility and says their product did not cause any of this. I will NEVER use their product again and it DID cause these adverse effects for my pets. I now want to warn other pet owners to stay away from this product, for the safety of your pets and all the vet bills that are enccurred afterwards.

I let the groomer use advantix on my dogs two days ago- for the first time ever. This morning, my 8 year old 12lb dog fell over and appeared to have a seizure. He slowly regained consciousness and his balance. After several hours, he seems better but still off. Our vet said to monitor him and that he most likely had a reaction to the spot on treatment. After reading the comments here, I realized my other dog has been shaking his head non-stop too! This will be the first and last time I ever use that poisonous treatment!

I used as a secondary flea treatment given 2 weeks after normal dose of Nex gard for fleas.as per vet. I already bathed my lil dog and she minus fleas. I purchased the topical to assist with fleas when I walk with my dog around the neighborhood. Within a couple of hours after the application, Boo Boo (dog) started scratching, biting, licking almost non stop. I bathed again with her shampoo, and no relief. I put shirts on her to prevent skin irritation. and puncture. Contacted tele number from box for medical assistance. Informed to bathe Boo Boo again, this time with Dawn dish soap, lathering and massaging lather into skin for total of 3 times, rinsing after each app. Stated some dogs were sensitive to Permethrin-1 ingredient. Now days later problem still present. Contacted same dept. at Bayer on the 27th, first adviser was aloof, asked to speak with supervisor.. Informed now to apply vitamin E oil and cold compresses to application areas. If problem still continues, seek help from Vet. I do realize that animals just like humans can be more sensitive than others to various products. The assistance from Medical Staff area at Bayer is Sub Standard and so is the product. I hope this helps when others are considering applying this product to there dog..

Gave Maggie 11 pound Yorkie K9 Advatixll. About 1to 2 hours she could not walk and started shaking like a leaf. I called 800 Number and followed Instruction to bath several times with Dawn and rinse well.. and take to Vet. She was at Vet for several hours and was dx with reaction to Advantix ll. Vet said she should be fine after 24 to 48 hours. The next day the Seizures started, her leggs stuck away from her body , took her to her reg Vet on Friday and he said she should be fine. She had problems walking and standing on Saturday and Sunday . Monday she had Seizures again .She again could not stand and I took her back to Emergency. She was resuscitated and is in the clinic now very sick.They could not promise me that she will survive this. The Bill so far is almost $4000.00. So far I had very good Customer Service from PetCo .I just hope she makes it through the night. .I am a mental wreck.I hope Bayer will be able to help me pay this bill.They did pay for the other two Vets. Thank you

I gave my pom the appropriate does of the advantix 2 actually it was less that what was in the little tube, I compressed the tube when throwing it away and a big drop came out. Given Thursday morning, Friday morning agitated, yelping and trying to scratch at the area it was placed on his back. Gave him a bath to try and wash it off. Saturday still agitated, yelping and trying to get the the area it was placed. After reading all the posts, I threw the rest of the tubes away. This is very stressful watching my little guy go thru this.

Damn I had no idea this treatment caused so many problems. I used it on my rotts for years but now have bullies. They have not had any severe reactions other than irtitation and scratching but I will no longer use it on any of my dogs. Good ol Bayer and typical of pharmaceutical companies, no accountability or consequences for the crap they dispense and deem safe.

We always suspected our 80lb dog was sensitive to Advantix. Usually on day 2 he would be moody and mopey. This time his reaction was really bad. Lots of panting, drooling, tremors, trying to hide, hold his head on an angle, easily startled and loss of balance. This is very scary. I pray he makes it through the night. Had I known his reaction would progress from mopey to this nightmare, I would have chanced ticks and fleas.

The vet prescribed 0.4ml Avantix for my 2 year old Pom who weighs 3.75kg. I applied the medication on his back and and he seemed OK during the first 6 hours post administration. Then the back twitching started! It started with short twitches which did not seem to cause him any discomfort. Then the following day, the back twitching was stronger and occurred about twice every 4 minutes and he seemed to be aware of this because he looked surprised each time it happened. I have washed him a pet shampoo (which contains: sodium hydroxide, sodium benzoate, linalool, cinnamal, sodium laureth sulfate, disodium EDTA) and I am waiting to see if the back twitching will stop. Should I wait for the medication to wear off or should I take him to the vet ASAP despite having washed him?
Apart from the back twitching, he is his usual self. The twitching also occurs when he is awake and just chilling. While asleep, the back does not twitch. Has this happened to anyone? What are your thoughts?

This is what's been happening with my dog for the past 72h. I just washed her with dawn dish soap so I'm really hoping it stops soon :( I feel terrible. My vet did say her skin could twitch but not for how long. Let me know if you have an update!

I am wondering if any studies have been done to show that long term use of Advantix causes hind leg paralysis eventually? I have been using it because it kills mosquitos, too, but I am thinking I may need to stop because he is now (@ 8 years old) showing some muscle wasting on his hind leg. I used Advantix on a previous pet (large dog), and he did eventually show hind leg paralysis at 16 years old, and I just want to be sure that won't happen with this one if it is possible that paralysis could result from Advantix.

Last three seasons we gave our lab appropriate dose. Once it caused a large legion. Now scarded with a bald spot. Hair hides it. We then started spreading it out in multiple spots. Last season at the end of season, we discovered lots of small scabs. Also it took us 3 years to realize allergies (which we initially thought it was food related) gradually got worse as the season went on. We won't be useing this product again.
