We are lucky that we only have to do heartworm treatment for 6 months of the year up here.DogsDeserveFreedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619788290016287585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133051165432144608.post-3616174192848085302010-06-13T23:34:13.363-05:002010-06-13T23:34:13.363-05:00I'm in Ohio, and do heartworm treatment year r...I'm in Ohio, and do heartworm treatment year round. We get enough cold in the Winter it's probably not really necessary in Jan. - Feb., but we get enough warm days too that I see no reason to risk it. However, I DO use liquid Ivermectin rather than Hartguard. Same drug but much cheaper. That said, I have Aussies so they are tested for the mutant gene first that makes them sensitive to Ivermectin and if they'd test positive they'd get Interceptor. Have used it for 4 years on the 2 current dogs and we have lots of mosquitoes here and no positive tests so far. So don't knock the "farm stuff"; it's the same drug and easy to calibrate, you just have to be careful to get the straight Ivermectin and not one that has anything else added. I've done the heartworm treatments, years ago before I knew it was an issue in this area, and have no desire to do them again!MickieNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454841285902316595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133051165432144608.post-54982787313732592752010-06-10T17:06:41.610-05:002010-06-10T17:06:41.610-05:00damn those mosquitoes!
