Yay or Nay for our little guy? We gave him a dose of some heartworm med, perhaps heartgard, when he was around 6-8 months old and it made him ill - though it could have been the fact he was eating the blossoms of oak trees at the time and not the pill. We have not given him any since, and as of Oct, he tested negative for heartworms. He is not outside very much at all because we're afraid of hawks.
We just took him to Florida for 12 days - and the weather was unseasonably hot/warm - in the 80s. I ended up with numerous mosquito bites because we were outside all the time. So that leads me to think he may have been bitten as well.
How does your toy react to Interceptor? I have 2 pills my vet gave me last year and I was going to start giving him in the event he was bitten. I plan on giving him one tonight, after dinner. I read there could be some side effects and they should only last about 24 hours. Do you find that to be the case? Would I be better off giving him the pill away from any kind of meal time? I had so much trouble getting him to eat regularly I don't want him to associate eating with getting sick later on...........
