Heartworm Medication
-
Cool! I use topical K9 Advantix for repelling/killing fleas, ticks and mosquitos and ingestible Interceptor for heartworm. I would love to have an "all-in-one." Do you need a vet prescription for this? Is it topical or ingestible? Where can you buy it (I haven't been able to find Advantix/Heartguard combo on the internet, or maybe you're referring to Advantage Multi)?
Could be-I haven't looked at the box. I don't need to put it on til June 1 or there about. I do get it at the vet. I believe it comes in a chewy pill form. I'll find out for sure. I'll find out more about it for you and let you know. Don't forget we have different stuff in Canada. (Don't know why. Surolan for ear infections is one we have up here, but you guys don't have it-at least not in NY)

I'd appreciate that, Arlene. I hope it's not just a Canadian thing…

Ok-here goes. It was the advantage multi. This is a combination of Heartworm/flea/and a few intestinal parasite control combo. There is also Revolution (I'm going to try this this year). This is a Heartworm/flea/tick/ear mite/and a few intestinal parasite control combo. This is rather pricey, $81.00 Cdn for 6 mos worth. This is for 18-22 lbs. Hope this helps.
Maybe cheaper over the internet-I haven't looked into it.

I took her to the vet a few days ago and she said that there is something in Heartguard that is not good for sight hounds, like Greyhounds, Whippets, Basenjis, etc. It can be bad enough to cause death. I didn't want to take any chances with Jojo so we switched. I wish I could remember what the name was the vet called this.
:eek: I can't believe this, our vet gave us heartguard. I wonder if I should change vets since he dosen't seem to know about B's and I know from this forum this is usual for some vets not to know about Besanji's..how this is possible, I don't know they should know about all breeds!:mad:

Okay, Arlene, thanks so much for the info. I think I'll be sticking to K9 Advantix and Interceptor. Mosquitos are sooooo bad here in Minnesota in the summer, and Magnum gets all bit up. The K9 Advantix prevents this.

No, the concern over heartguard, or ivermectin is for Collies, and Collie mixes (possibly Borzoi) not Basenjis or other sighthounds. If you google it, you will find lots of info. Everybody I know uses ivermectin for heartworm prevention…
