| Your babies are beautiful!!! I think the vet should have tested for worms and I wouldn't give the meds unless she really has worms....drop a stool sample off and ask them to test!

| Do you give your dogs heartworm medication now? I didn't know the listening to the heart would detect other than heartworms...

| They both look adorable and I have the same comment as everyone else. How can he tell if she has heartworms based on just listening to her heart? He didn't even do a test and prescribed medicine based on assumption? That just does not sound right. If you're concerned, I would definitely ask for a test and with a different vet. |

| i think she looks fine and pretty as ever! Jasmine just turned 2 on January 1st and probobly until she was about 1.5 years she was very thin and now she weighs 7lbs even, for a while she wouldn't get above 4 and that made me nervous!

| Why didn't he check to see if she had worms instead of just giving you meds.If you left there guessing what is wrong, I would change vets.

| Wow! I can't believe he gave you pills without testing for worms first! I'm betting she doesn't have worms at all!

When I thought Ellie had a liver problem and her bile acids came back high Ellie's vet consulted an internist. With high bile acids sometimes internists recommend deworming a dog just in case that is what is elevating the numbers. Ellie didn't have a fecal test at all because we may have gotten a false negative...
