and one more thing is,

im wondering if i should feed her the whole dose of heartgard which is for dogs up to 25lbs or i can actually split it?
im worry about the medication would overdose for her cause she is too small..
thanks for any reply  |
I would ask your vet. Usually puppies dont get tested for heartworm until about 6 months old...you should be fine giving it to her!
