Hey guys I have a question for you all. I'm not keen on using heartworm, so I've been using holistic alternatives this season only because Messina's mostly been at home...but we are going camping in a few weeks...anyways..
My question is..if she was bitten by mosquitos, and I give her the regular heartguard (just for the worms, not for the fleas/ticks) on September 5th, then that will make it a month and about one week..
Now, vets say that the meds kill anything ONE MONTH prior to application..
However, I heard that its actually 1 month and 2 weeks...or 45 days..something like that..does anybody know exactly how good its for..is it really one month..or longer? Because if its longer than that will save me an unecessary dosage in October (because of my trip during the first week of Sept)....
So...please someone help me out..if there are any vets or vet techs here please please please let me know..again, its the regular heart guard..not the plus...bitten yesterday...want to give the meds Sept 5th..am I good or no?
Thanx guys
