Noo...how can we have lost so many sweet babies in so short a time?  

Another candle was lit tonight in SoCal for Umberto.  

Frolic with the rest of our special ones and wait for us, Umberto.

Re: [Felvtalk] Heartworm drugs

2011-07-20 Thread katskat1
I live in Ohio and watched one of my dogs die of heartworm - or
technically she died of the reaction to the treatment for heartworm
after she was found to have them.
She had been coughing for months and a local vet said maybe kennel
cough but not much was known about it and she was a free running dog
in the country.
A few months later I took her in for her annual vaccinations and new
vet said heartworm had been bad in Ohio the last year or so and
suggested we test.  She came back positive so he started the treatment
before we left that day telling me there were risks but she would
likely die for sure if something wasn't tried.  That night she came
home and collapsed in the front yard and I watched her die.  Her heart
stopped. 10 PM at night, nearest emergency vet was almost 2 hours away
but didn't matter cause I didn't know they existed at the time and
they were in another city and no emergency listings in local phone
books.  Vet I had taken her to had gone to his daughters graduation
that night and called back too late but said he probably wouldn't have
been able to do anything anyway.  Autopsy showed she had more worms
than heart left.
I will NEVER not treat a dog for heartworm again.
Period.

Re: [Felvtalk] Heartworm drugs

2011-07-20 Thread Christiane Biagi
Certain collie breeds & mixes, carry a gene (mdr1-1Δ mutation) which if
given Ivermectin (which is Heartgard) can kill them.  There are also studies
going on about herding dogs like Aussies, Shelties, Border collies, Old
English Sheepdogs, etc).  I give my Maltese Interceptor and it doesn't have
ivermectin.  I live in NY & we've been using year round heartworm prev for
years here.

What breed of dogs should not take Heartguard? I have two adorable

there are many mosquitos with our very humid climate. We also have had the
mosquitos get inside just from opening our doors to let the dogs out. I have
to give them something as a preventative.

Xana passed away last Thursday of severe anemia. Xana got much worse in the
last two weeks. Nothing could help her.
She has not reached 3 years.

Poor Bobby lived with his brother, Pauley - their sister Candy died last
year.  Bobby and Pauley were always entwined, or on top of one another,
hugging.  When they were about 4 mos old, they were the worst adoption I
ever made to a very nice family with personal
recommendations/referencesThey came back completely skizzed out, AC had
to get them with neck-nooses, which made them spit and cough out blood for
about 2 weeks - I was pissedI was able to hold them upside-down and kiss
their tummies when they left herethis was 15 yrs ago - to this day, they
have NOT recuperated from their experience!

Natalie,  I had a similar experience with my Sparky. He was a huge 30lb, 4 
ft long cat (not a leukemia cat)! He was 15 1/2 yrs old.  He never cried, I 
could just tell he was uncomfortable.  He seemed to have a tooth bothering 
him from the way he was eating and I took him to a dentist that did 
high-risk dental work. Sparky had an enlarged heart (no surprise due to his 
weight). When I took him in for his dental appt. I told the vet that he had 
not had a BM in a few days. I approved an xray. It revealed he had a mass in

his intestines and the cancer had eaten away 2 areas of his intestine. I 
don't understand how cats can hide their pain so well!!

By the way, Sparky had an eating disorder. We tried putting him on the 
Purina OM diet along with Pebbles (before she was a diabetic) and Sparky did

not like it and was not eating enough of it and had liver problems. The vet 
just told me to let him eat and be happy.  If we did not leave food out he 
would claw our new bed mattress, then eat tissues/toilet paper, lick plastic

where he could find it. If you still did not feed him he would toss his 
stomach bile.

I'm fortunate to have had him 15 1/2 years. I still miss him. He's buried in

my back yard.

[Felvtalk] Heartworm drugs

2011-07-20 Thread Natalie



  Heartworm drugs for pets; Big Pharma's cash cow - In a seemingly
diabolical plot, veterinarians and pharmaceutical companies have teamed up
in a marketing campaign to frighten pet guardians into giving year-round
heartworm preventatives to their cats, as well as dogs. These so-called
experts say they're doing this to improve protection for individual pets,
but the facts say their motives may be less pure.


 

http://www.naturalnews.com/033060_heartworm_drugs_pet_health.html#ixzz1SeoFY
KZ8

 


We had a discussion about Revolution a while back - here is a great article
on all wormers, and about Revolution, which is technically: Selamectin is
also used to treat ear mites and some intestinal worms; adverse reactions
include hair loss at the site of application, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle
tremors, anorexia, lethargy, salivation, rapid breathing, and contact
allergy.

And how veterinarians are handing out these products like candy, etc.
Important "read"!
