The age and pound limit for puppies is 8 weeks and 5 lbs. It would appear that Luna is within this range. The most common listed side effects for Trifexis include itchiness, anorexia, lethargy, redness and diarrhea. Often drugs may have other side effects that are considered uncommon and/or rare. There is also the possibility of allergic reactions to medications. If Luna appears to be in true distress to you, I would recommend getting her into a vet particularly if these side effects happened immediately after using the drug. Intervention may be required, and time is of the essence in smaller, younger patients. Hope this helps.
