You medication is killing my dog

Onset of neurological problems after just a few doses...
My female German Shepherd is 8 years old. She suddenly started having issues getting up and walking in Feb 2022.
I took her to the vet and they said she likely had hip dysplasia, even after x-rays showed no evidence of this. She continued to develop more symptoms and I took her back to the vet in June 2022 and they said she likely had spine issues. After a CT scan, they determined she had no spinal issues and no tumors, so it was probably degenerative myelopathy (which cannot be definitely diagnosed until an autopsy is done after she passes). This disease is similar to ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease in humans, and she will eventually lose the use of her back legs.
A few days later, a friend was telling me about the issues people have been having after using Simparica Trio. I started giving my girl that in January 2022, and believe it is related.
I have stopped giving her the medicine, and she has begun physical therapy to strengthen her hind leg muscles. She is still doing well, running occasionally, and she doesn't have any issues getting up, but she does still have hind leg weakness (one side only at this point) which we are hoping will get better with PT.
- One pill
- Neurological symptoms
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: I would definitely find a different medication. I am not giving my girl anything at this point but will likely switch to Nexgard. I have friends whose dogs take that.
Seizures
I gave this to my dog for the first time in July 2022. My dog is only barely 12months
old.
The seizures started within a week of having the first dose. She is getting cluster seizures. She is now on antiepileptic medication for life and needs bloods done every few months. I am so upset because we normally use another brand and bought this only because my normal brand was not available.
The studies of this drug confirms the high seizure rate in dogs. I wish I knew this before we gave this to her. She is still having seizures however and we are struggling to get the right medication to hopefully control them. The vet confirmed this is most likely the cause of her seizures.
The research shows however that she will most likely die within 3 years of having her first seizure. We are all devastated.
User's recommendation: don't use it

I would have given it ZERO stars.
I gave my two dogs Simparica Trio on 5/17/22 per the vet. Between 5/18 & 5/22, the older one's walk had gone from normal to very unstable & he seemed confused.
The last time he was able to get on the couch on his own was 5/25 & the last time he walked on his own was the morning of 5/28. By 5/30, he needed diapers. The vet wanted to send him to a neurologist ($) for an MRI ($$) & surgery ($$$). Over the last month I have seen personality changes and his bark has even changed.
He appears to be trying to move his legs now but I think we still have a long way to go. Fingers crossed he comes out of this.
- No fleas or ticks
- Incontinence
- Abnormal vocalizations
- Lost ability to walk
Preferred solution: Do better testing, figure out which animals could have neurology issues (older, overweight, etc) & make it publicly known (like at the end of TV commercials, may cause wobby walk, personality changes, etc).
User's recommendation: DO NOT USE THIS MEDICATION. FIND AN ALTERNATIVE.

Verified Reviewer | Fort Lauderdale, FloridaI believe my dog died due to giving her 1 dose of this POISON!
I had taken my dog in cuz she was having problems with fleas I normally do not give them any medication I use essential oils but I couldn't control it and then I saw a worm in her stool I took a sample of the stool with me and I told the vet she was walking she was fine after the vet gave me the simparica I brought her home later I gave her the simparica the next morning I woke up she couldn't walk very lethargic I called the vet that wouldn't see her told me to send her to a hospital I took her to another vet they did blood work they did an allergy test she was allergic to it I took her home she passed away!!!
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
User's recommendation: Do not give this to any of your dogs
USE CAUTION WITH THIS MED!
I gave my dog a dose 2/1 & 3/1/22. I noticed a personality change in her but never thought it would be associated to this preventative.
She has been having daily tremors and isn't her normal self and self isolates. She is like a totally different dog, sad, nervous and fearful acting. Breaks my heart. I.
I pray this leaves her system and hasn't caused permanent damage. I wish the vet had spoken to me about side effects and what to watch for so I wouldn't have given her a second dose.
I tried to do right by my dog so she doesn't get lymes disease to find out I am feeding her a pesticide. I am sick about this and angry it's on the market.
Preferred solution: My dog back the way she was before starting this medicine :(

When are they going to take this stuff off the Market?, this medication caused our westie to die in July 2021. I tried to hire 2 Lawyers to do something about this, but they would not take a Class Action Law Suit on, so I guess I and the rest of the people that lost and are suffering because of this drug are basically going to have to live with it because of your " Don't care attitude ", all about the money is in it?, Hopefully someone in your company has a dog that takes this stuff and gets deathly sick and almost dies or does die, then maybe you will change your attitude.
I lost my little girl because of you people, because I could not protect her from a damn pill.
I am a Viet-Nam Veteran I can protect people from being killed, but I could NOT protect my poor dog from a bad pill. I only wish she could have talked, they pretty much have to depend on their owners to keep them safe, but hard to keep them safe when you don't know what you are giving them!!

It has not developed. Company has not called, contacted two Lawyers to try to get this medication off the market to no avail, so I guess no one cares about family pets that die needlessly.
Pet Bucket has a lot of people on it that are have problems with this stuff, and yet nothing is being done, what in the *** has to happen in this country for anything to get done? Sorry Bastards.
Preferred solution: Class action Law suit

This happened to my dog in 2017. I didn't even think of this.
I switched to a one-pill for all Simpario trio. The Vet was saying it was neurological. No one ever said it was this. I did water therapy he got better and over a year was great.
Well, this winter I missed doses and gave them to him in April and now he can barely move his back legs, is blind, and can't hear or maybe he can't understand me. He just stares.
I asked him to sit, down, up, and spin, with his favorite treats, and doesn't know what I am saying and just keeps looking at the floor. I thought he was just ignoring me when I called him.
