My dog just tested positive for heartworm! He is
not showing any clinical signs yet. Anybody
treated?? Im not sure what to do that is the safest
way to go for my dog. The vet recommended Doxy
and antibiotics for the slow safe way. Anybody
done this with success? There is also a shot
given
called Aminicide. Given 2 times but i heard it
was dangerous. I was just wanting somebody's input
on this parasite and how to safely kill it
without harming my dog.

Was your dog on year round monthly preventtive?
Treatment varies. How old is the dog? In younger dogs it seems like they use a more aggressive treatment along with confinement as the dog is not supposedcto be very active. In older dogs the treatment is more mild. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?A=610Posts: 1748 | From United States | Registered: Dec 2011

Research the "slow kill" method. That's what I did with one of my rescue dogs. It worked. No confinement etc. More later - tired.....
