No talk of doxy?
Wouldn't worry too much about the MP3 there. It's possible, but that really is a major problem in the southern US. My vets here in MI hadn't even heard about it. They are just now learning about it because it's something that the AHS is still processing and I don't think there have been any reoorts on it done by the AAHA or AVMA.
Immiticide is a hard drug to get. I believe here the orderer has to show need to be able to get it.
I bet they do use it for slow kill. They also use it before Immiticide though. There is enough positive info on it that I'd probably insist.
We test yearly. That will be increased if Ellie's vet office sees an increasing number of cases in patients whose owners are compliant about giving preventatives every month. |
I raised the topic of doxy; specialist response is no he doesn't use, he uses an anti inflammatory.
Crystal can you post a link to specific study(s) on efficacy of doxy in HW tx? Ps: I will go back this evening to American Heartworm society, to review for doxy specific info.
