Can dogs be immune to vaccines/preventative medicine?
So here's the (poop) scoop 😅 My dog was on the heartguart/advantix combo and a week after the application we hiked and he was covered in engorged ticks. Some were on for several days before I found them (he's a husky mix so they're hard to find). So they didn't die. The company paid for the vet bills because it was unusual. This has since happened with kennel cough last year (he got it a month after he was vaccinated) and today I found out he has hookworm despite being on Nexguard (he's been on it for 2 months). I am very consistent with his doses and his blood work, urine and stool was just done. All was normal except the hookworm which should've been killed and prevented by Nexguard. Has anyone else had this experience? Is it my dog or just the (potential) fact that they don't know enough about dogs to properly make these medications super efficient? He's 7 now and other than itchy skin he's in good health (he's on apoquel). Please share any information you have.
