And just to clarify where I stand: I am not trying to argue 'for or against' preventative treatment, I just want to know the truth. I want to see a current HW incidence map and a current, real HW life cycle chart. In the meantime, I am giving my dogs HW preventatives, per my vet. I will be discussing this with them.
Who doesn't want the least toxic method to prevent disease? I certainly don't want the same situation that is now occurring with over-prescription of antibiotics to happen with Heartworm preventatives. |
