I give monster heartworm prevention and he hasn't had any problems with it. He's been taking it for a year or so now. The only problem we had was getting him to take it because it was a small chewable pill and he would eat around it so we switched him to heartguard which is a big treat that he loves. But we still have to get him to take the flea pills and we tried the pill pockets and they worked. They are big so I only put the pill in a little piece of it and they smell real strong and are thick so he doesn't even notice the pill I think. Have you tried those for giving the antibiotics to him?

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. And I think she said not to give him the puppy heart worm medicine I'm not sure. But when we went to our vets office that's the medicine they gave us. --- In [email protected], "dasha" <dash...@...> wrote: > > we not even give him the heartworm prevention medicine, because she's had > cases were the dog has gotten sick any way after taking the heartworm > medicine to prevent the heart worms. > > =================================== > > This is mostly I think if he has not been tested.
