I meant three treatments instead of two and spaced apart properly. I also meant two to three months of Heartgard prior.
This is, after all, what is recommended by the Heartworm Society whom I look to as the experts on heartworms.
Speculation about possible liver problems in dogs and the reasons for them based upon people's suppositions is not what I consider valid research data. |
Neither do I, nor was it intended that way. I am merely trying to give Gail some options to consider, and if she wants, to discuss them with her vet.
I tried to find valid studies and such, bc I know you like to see that stuff, but I must not have access and am limited in what I do find.
I think her vet could find documentation and would before doing anything I suggest... and I would totally expect him to do so. If she chooses not to consider anything I've posted, that's fine too.
And an FYI: The active ingredients in Denamarin are prescribed quite frequently for humans with liver problems such as Hepatitis.
