Ok...so I really hate giving my two unnecessary vaccines, heart worm meds, etc... So I try to choose the lesser of the 'evils' when I have to give them something. Our area is just swarming with mosquitoes and is a high risk area for heart worms. So this morning I give both Zoe & Jett their monthly dose of Interceptor. For the first time ever, Zoe does not eat hers. She takes it greedily like always, but drops it on the floor. I don't have my contacts in yet and can't see nearly as well with my glasses, and before I even had a chance, my little food motivated boy gobbles hers up. I know that according to vets, it does not pose a health danger to give more then one pill, but I call the vet anyway just to make me feel better. But dang....I just HATE it that he got 2!!! I'll have to sneak Zoe's in food from now on so it doesn't happen again. They are both due for the Animal Essentials Detox/Allergy Blend this month so I guess that's good.
For those that have benefit of a holistic vet, what does your holistic vet say about heart worm prevention?
On a side note, I did see on our local news (on Saturday mornings there is a 'Pet Vet' segment) that there are some studies going on in the state of Mississippi this past week about the possibility of heart worms developing a resistance to HeartGuard. Nothing conclusive yet, but thought I'd pass along the info.
