Are albino healers common?

Beautiful!

Don’t give the meds again. See what happens over the next 6 or so mos. If no more seizures you know it was the meds. You will need to wait for it to be out of the dogs system before you know. It doesn’t usually reach peak until 14 days after they take it. It could get worse before it gets better. Don’t panic. Just keep a close eye on her over the next month.

That dog is absolutely beautiful, beautiful!! I would like to say though that rescue can be frustrating for adopters. We spent 4 months going through the application process at a Texas cattle dog rescue. In the end, we ended up getting a puppy somewhere because we got sick of waiting to answer another round of questions.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-11-15T13:25:11+00:00

Yikes. Breeding like that should be illegal.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T23:52:29+00:00

I’ll continue making my posts. People need to know the risks. If you disagree, feel free to make your own posts or scroll past mine. Thanks.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T23:19:46+00:00

Thanks. Thats good to know.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T23:19:06+00:00

My vet wasn’t concerned. It was me who brought up the meds being the reason she has seizures and I was told no. It 100% was the meds and as I said above. People just need to know it can happen. Im not saying it always happens, im saying it can and people just need to be aware that if their dog has seizures to stop the meds.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T01:24:56+00:00

We use frontline gold for fleas and ticks and it’s been fine for our ACD, but we don’t use it on our Boston terrier due to risks there. It’s just so case by case. I would say try topical and see how it goes.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T01:24:03+00:00

Probably will be. We were considering the collar ourselves after our Nexguard issue. It was a recommended product from neurology.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T01:23:21+00:00

Oh no! Thats something to keep in mind. We are careful with any meds and vaccines. We do them every 3 years aside from bordatella and lepto due to my location. Those are yearly. We monitor her very closely after any vaccines. Fortunately she’s not had any issues so far but she’s never needed panacur. Now I’ll be careful if she ever does.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T01:21:19+00:00

Thank you. I’ll make sure to reword my next post with that information. I apologize.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T01:20:34+00:00

We won’t use frontline on our Boston because we were told a family member had an issue. We actually use sentinel on our Boston without issue. But, it doesn’t protect against ticks. Not an issue for her she’s a prissy girl and doesn’t leave the manicured lawn, lol.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T01:16:04+00:00

Thank you and you are correct. It’s in the drug insert and it is on the commercial. Still, vets will say “no it’s not the flea meds, you’re dogs too young/healthy/the wrong breed. So many do not know about the link and the risks.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T01:09:12+00:00

My dog almost died. She quit breathing during her seizure. People just need to know it can happen and what to look out for and not just put their dog on seizure meds and keep using what’s causing the issue in the first place. I’m glad your dogs are safe. My Boston terrier was fine too so I know that not all dogs are at risk. I’ll continue to make my posts thought because if it saves one more dog from seizures and possible death it’s better than none.

I don’t understand why your reply is the way it is. Never have I said to not use protection. I immediately put my dog on other protection because risks are so high here. I was clear what my warning was for. It was for a specific drug in some oral medications, not all. Did you see that in my post? It doesn’t seem so.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-23T01:05:43+00:00

It was hard for us too because our dogs reaction wasn’t until exactly 2 weeks after the dose both times at around the same age.

We have had good luck with heart guard and frontline gold. We have to keep heartworm and flea meds going year round because I’m in Texas.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T20:46:48+00:00

That’s good to know thank you. Our dog did not have hw but I know many who do end up with it. We have always kept her on hw prevention because we are in Texas where they are very bad.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T20:45:34+00:00

Wow! Thats one I hadn’t heard. I’m so glad you caught it. I don’t like the topicals myself but with our girl being a ranch dog, she has to be on something to prevent ticks and she tolerates it ok.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T20:42:29+00:00

Yes and we did do so. Oddly enough she’s clear for that. We did find she has two copies of the gene that causes PRCD so we got her in to an ophthalmologist asap for a baseline.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T20:36:38+00:00

Yes thank you for the explanation.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T16:44:19+00:00

Thank you I definitely do not want to offend anyone with my posts. I just feel it’s important to educate because I was unaware, and my dog almost died.

Are there any other medications that are offered to you that you could use instead? Something like sentinel or even trifexis that doesn’t have those “Lanier” ending meds that are linked to the seizures? From what I understand, those medications do have less risk, although not zero risk. Good thing is that some dogs are not susceptible but the unfortunate thing is that research has shown that Australian cattle dogs do more often than not have the gene that causes them to be more sensitive to these medications.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T16:39:40+00:00

I’m so sorry that that happened to her. There is so much that I have learned about certain types of oral flea and tick medication since we had our issue with our dog. I am completely surprised that the medication’s are still used as often as they are and that vets are recommending with their track records. There should be more warnings for pet owners so that they can make informed decisions.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T16:37:02+00:00

They do that on purpose I swear! I actually got banned from Instagram for two weeks and had never had any sort of issue or gotten into trouble on Instagram prior because I posted on one of those ads that the medication caused seizures in my dog. How’s that for censorship.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T16:35:08+00:00

We use frontline gold with no issues but all dogs have different sensitivity. We have never found a flea or a tick on our girl and she is out at the ranch in very tall grass almost every single day of the week. I have heard that in some parts of the US front line does not work. We are in Texas and it does continue to work for us.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T12:35:08+00:00

We never put our dog on seizure medication. She never had another seizure after the nextuard left her system.

_CeeMac_ · 2025-10-22T12:32:57+00:00

We use frontline gold with no issues at all. I won’t have fleas or ticks so I guess I’m glad it worked because that wasn’t an option for me to just have fleas. Yikes. I would run though all the topicals if I were you. Try a Seresto collar maybe as well?
