I am sorry, I misunderstood the email. Thanks for updating me as I would never want to give out false info on giving any dog a preventive med. Nancy

That is just what I said. It looks like you were replying to my answer which was basically the same as yours. No one on this list crops post so it causes a lot of confusion sometimes. I was asking if that was why the vet said NOT to get the preventive, if that was the case why didn't this new vet go ahead and test the dog?

It is a very toxix poison. That was the craziest think I have ever heard of and just think if you did not research it - you could of killed your baby all on the advice of the Vet.

If you give heartworm meds to a dog that has heartworms then that will make them sick. I don't understand why a vet would not recommend any heartworm preventive for a dog.
