| Heartworm medicine???? Hi All, We're going to Mexico and we're bringing Preston. I was told I should give him heartworm medicine as a precaution. Preston is 3.25 lbs... The dose the gave me was for dogs up to 25lbs. It seems like a big dose. My vet told me to call the manufacturer to ensure it wasn't toxic for tiny dogs. I called the company that makes the product and they said he'd be okay. However, I'm still skeptical... Anyone given their small babies heartworm medicine and had a bad experience?
