Heartguard for dog with Pancreatitis/ Enteritis

[Monroe-Rylee]

Does anyone have thoughts on giving Heartguard to a dog who has been diagnosed with pancreatitis from one specialist enteritis from another? I'm changing flea treatments as the flea/heart-worm topical hasn't been effective. But now I'll need a separate heart-worm medication. My regular vet believes the Heartguard should be fine for my dog who, in June, spent 4 days in the emergency vet and got a diagnosis from one specialist pf pancreatitis and a diagnosis of enteritis from the second specialist we saw.

Needless to say either way I'm worried about giving her anything that isn't her prescription dog food. I have not talked to the specialist about this but our regular vet thinks the Heartguard should be fine... I didn't realized how big the thing is until I just picked it up & am just wondering if anyone has used this with a dog with stomach issues or has thoughts on it. Thanks so much!!!

I have three pups with IBD. Two of them have lymphangectasia and one has had pancreatitis.
They all take Heartgard and have never had issues.
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! That makes me feel a lot better. Even though the vet said it should be okay I can't help but worry; especially after how sick she was earlier in the year. Thank you again!!!
