| Yorkie Throws Up After Taking Heartworm Medicine I have had issues with giving my Yorkie Heart Worm Meds, she throws them up after her meal after taking Heart worm Medicine. This has been going on for 3 months. I started with Sentinel, we just changed to HeartGuard. I've spoken to my Vet each time this has happened he suggested giving half a Pepcid Ac 1 hour before eating her dinner and then giving her the heart worm medicine. Tonight she threw up again but not as much as previous times. Has anyone ever experienced this with your Yorkie? I'm so stressed out..... I follow directions to the letter. I gave Pepcid Ac 1/2 tablet 1 hour before dinner as my Vet suggested. Then 1 hour later gave her dinner. Then immediately after gave her heart guard medicine @ 5 pm. She threw up at 6:30 PM. Please if anybody can give me some advise I appreciate it. I have to wait to speak with my Vet again tomorrow morning. This is really stressing me out. |

| Zoey threw up her heart worm meds two months in a row. I told the vet and he changed her meds to a different brand which agrees with her. I hate giving these meds but I guess it is necessary. As a matter of fact, Zoey and Jackson got the pill last night with their dinner.

| Zoey is taking Quardiguard. Trifexis was the med that made her throw up.

| My Vet, finally called me back. Since she has thrown up more than 2 heartworm medicines. Our last option is to try Revolution, I had to special order from Drs. Foster and Smith, so it will take a while to get to me. |
