I tried over and over again to give her the rest, but she wouldn't take it - I'd put it in her mouth and she'd spit it right out. Not sure how to get her to take the entire thing?? Being so small I wouldn't think she would need to take the entire pill, but the directions said to make sure they take the entire thing or you have to restart the dose.... |
I personally would just let it go for this month since it is very unlikely that a dog her age would get heartworms. Apparently there is still a chance though. Breaking it up is fine as long as she will take it all. If she won't, you can get the plain Heartgard pills and pill her that way. You could also use Interceptor.
