| Our Dr. Lucy didn't start Toto on heartworm medication until she was about 5 months because they are supposed to weigh 2+ lbs. Even then she only gave her 1/2 tab until she was bigger. I just looked on the "insert" that comes with the Sentinel and it says to only begin giving it after 4 weeks or older and 2 or more lbs.

| Pills are to prevent them from getting heart worm. The test is to make sure that they don't have it-so that if they do, treatment can start. Baxter had the heartworm pills before I brought him home. He takes them now too. I don't give them to him all year...just the spring-fall and then he gets the test in the spring (just had his test and got the pills).
