She had one dose and it almost killed her so I never gave it her again.
Now I am saying that we should not give heart worm meds bc I do give Pixie and Daisy interceptor every month but with them not making it anymore I have to go to something different and it really makes me nervous..
I am glad that your lil one is ok though and it is very scary when this happens. |
Heartworm is transmitted by infected mosquitoes. A mosquito can get into a house.
The dog we had in Chicago over 25 years ago never had preventatives. Vets did not recommend them.
However, we had giant trucks spraying chemicals all over to kill mosquitoes.
I hated giving up Interceptor. We are using Heartgard now.
