Btw, I use generic ivermectin (aka, Heartguard). We luckily don't have much of a flea problem here...and I don't know how I feel about treating for the other worms - as in Heartguard Plus. It's so hard to find real-time prevalence and incidence on these issues. |
I only treat for worms because Interceptor protects against them (at the tune of adding 4/5 more drug than they need to per dose to claim that). I was using Heartgard (no Plus) for awhile with no intestinal parasite protection at all. Ellie's risk of exposure is so low and we do fecals, so it just isn't a huge concern to me.
The Revolution thing is hard because all meds can fail. I just don't like all of the reports I've seen about this.
