I'm not sure either unless we misunderstood. My hubby just decided to go ahead then give him the heart worm medicine. Have you been giving yours heart worm medicine and have they had any effects. He's been tested for heart worms and it came back negative, he didn't have it. So wouldn't the medicine prevent him from getting it.
