And I was also reading that while some heartworm meds lower the seizure threshold (  ), Interceptor is the one w/ the least amount of chance of doing that -- can't tell whether this is anecdotal or not, yet. Do you know?
And then (I need to stop reading), if you look at the Australian version of Interceptor - which is Interceptor Spectrum - that version also treats for tapeworm...so now I wonder why we don't treat for that here as well. Confusing. |
I do use Interceptor. I like it for Yorkies. I just hate the overdose.
Exactly. You are doing the same thing with Heartgard in a different way.
I think Ladymom uses Interceptor because it is the best for seizures.
Maybe tapeworm is very prevalent there? The vets seem to give Panacur for tapeworms if needed around here. lol, I don't pay attention to drugs from other countries very much. I have all I can do to keep up with drugs from the US and they are the only ones I use unless there is no US version.
