Do most vets carry the Interceptor? Is it a pill or chewable? This sounds like the way to go. My little guy(11 weeks) got sick the night I gave it to him but I wasn't sure if it was from his new food (Innova) or from the heartgard. His stomach still is not right and the poor little guy has been crying for 3 days. He has been checked out by 3 vets and had a lot of test their not sure what happened. I'm leaning toward the problem being the heartgard so I thought it couldn't hurt to look into something else. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.
