| Flea Meds & HeartWorm Meds - Treatment Size I was curious about the treatment sizes of heartworm meds and flea meds I currently use Frontline Plus for 1-22lb dogs or Vectra 3D every other month for Flea/ Ticks & I use Heartgard Plus for HEARTWORM for dogs 1-25 lbs The dosing size for both of these is for dogs 1-25 lbs. I've notice d he is lethargic and sometimes vomits after taking the flea meds. Would it be a good idea to just give them part of their treatment like HALF the dosage? My puppy is only about 3 lbs. What do ya'll do? Thanks! |

| I would talk to your vet about the throwing up after the flea meds. He may be allergic so you might need to switch.
