I typically like to do my own research but I just don't seem to have a lot of spare time right now to do the research. And I know there is just a wealth of knowledge here so I would love it if you all would share your knowledge and research with me.
I like to treat my babies both traditionally and holistically. I don't like to overdue vaccines and I hate heartworm meds and flea prevention. But in my area it is a necessary evil. Thankfully Jett is a little over 5 lbs. Zoe & Jett are both on Interceptor and Comfortis and I feel I've chosen the less of the evils so to speak. However Callie is not quite 4 lbs yet. When I took her to the vet for just a well puppy visit, she gave me a sample of Revolution which is an oral treatment for both heart worm and flea prevention. And it goes as small as 0 to 5 lbs for the dosage. So I'm thinking for the dosage and the fact that I'm not having to give 2 different meds, that might be the best choice? Also, since Callie and Jett really play, tussle and mouth joust each other, I'm thinking an oral med is the better way to go?
What do you all do for the ones under 5 lbs?
