Thanks, Chris, it has been 3 yrs. since I have participated in this treatment
for dogs.
I just wish that every time I turn around there wasn't something else for me to
worry about when it comes to my cats.

Faithful Bast at her side did wait,
Purring welcomes of soft applause,
Ever guarding with sharpened claws."

Actually, following the Katrina debaucle, American Heartworm Association
revised protocol. Now its 1 shot; wait a month; then 2 shots one day apart.
Also protocol recommends treating with HW Prev meds PRIOR to shots in order to
kill off larvae and make adult HW sterile. Finally, there is a parasite that
lives inside the HW that it is now recommended be killed by doxyciclin
injections prior to full HW treatment. These are nasty creatures.
Problem is that they don’t really have a viable treatment for cats yet.
