If a test is positive, give your dog a regular dose of ivermectin, and that will take care of the larvae. Remember, 4 months is not enough for adult heartworms to develop, so the treatment will be the same as the so called "preventative."

THIS is dangerous to pets. Period. I am not going to waste any more time with you and this nonsense of yours. You are just playing a little game now and I am not going to play with you. Hopefully no one else will either.
