ProHeart 6 should be given with caution in dogs with pre-existing allergic disease, including previous vaccine reactions, food allergy, atopy, and flea allergy dermatitis. Dogs should be tested for heartworm disease prior to being treated with ProHeart 6. If your dog tests positive for adult heartworms, your veterinarian should treat the infection with an appropriate medication before administering ProHeart 6." http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Advisor.../UCM205054.pdf |
Oh, I told her NO way and she did call the vet to cancel it! She also texted her husband to be sure he knows as he is taking Piper to the vet today.
I was horrified....I would not give that to a healthy dog. I don't care that they swear it is ok now...too many dogs died from it. Never, ever going to happen to my pups.
