Ask the Vet About Heartworms in Dogs and Cats

My yorkie puppy is 7months- 5 pounds. Do I still give him the revolution for puppies under 5 pounds-15mg or Do I start the revolution for dogs starting at 5lbs- 30mg? Both say 5lbs so I'm confused which 1 to give now.

WHICH IS THE BEST MONTHLY PREVENTATIVE FOR COLLIES AND SHELTIES. I HAVE HEARD THAT SIMPARICA TRIO AND TRIFEXIS ARE BOTH SAFE. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION AND WOULD U CHOOSE ONE OVER THE OTHER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE.

Is there any other treatment?

Do I need a prescription to have a refill on the heartworm medicine he's already taken

My new dog has been off of heartworm preventative for about 6 months. Should I start him back on it immediately or wait until he can be tested in about a months time?

My vet prescribed prednisone, doxycycline and Iverheart Plus for my dog with a heartworm infestation. Is this appropriate??

My Rx for Revolution has been back ordered for months. My pups next dose should be Sunday May 15th. What do I do if it’s still not received? 1800 Pet Meds still shows it “ON ORDER”. Thank you.

Hello, We are in search of the safest heartworm flea and tick medication for a very special guy!

Hello, I have a question about heartworm preventive and how long they typically last/work until from the day of consumption? My dog, Zeus, has the MDR1 mutation so I limit the amount of heartworm medication to only the warm months in Northern VA (April - October). I gave him his last Interceptor Plus pill the evening of October 28th and now believe he may have been exposed to heartworms a week later on November 4th after visiting a local three acre farm where about ten other dogs were playing. Would the heartworm preventative taken on October 28th protect him from the possible heartworm exposure on November 4th due to the assumed 15-day safety net? He has not received any heartworm prevention since October. He is also not showing any signs or symptoms of heartworms, thankfully. I am taking him to the vet on Monday for antigen testing but am concerned a false negative may arise as it has only been 5 months. Additionally, what tests should I have done to confirm the presence of heartworms?

Can you prescribe medication for my 1 year old male GS k-9?

What month should I start giving Interceptor plus to my dog in Colorado?

I just realized I missed two doses of heart worm for my dogs. Feb 8th - Mar 27th. I just have them a dose today. Should I wait 30 days to give the next dose or go back to the normal monthly schedule of the 8th of every month?

What is the best heartworm medicine that also covers fleas ticks and mosquitoes
