Saying Goodbye: Memorials & Support > :-( I passed away today.

Brisbee 12/25/95 to- 11/18/2012     Barked: Sun Nov 18, '12 12:38pm PST  I was having a nice day yesterday, a little slow and stiff but a good day. Yesterday afternoon I had a stoke, spell, or something. My legs stopped working all of a sudden. I was made comfortable and spent time with my people. Today Sunday 18 2012 I went to sleep and left for the great wheel. I left sadness behind, but I will go onto my next life with the knowledge that I was a good dog.

Brisbee 12/25/95 to- 11/18/2012     Barked: Mon Sep 3, '12 7:40am PST  I got HW while on preventative. My vet thinks I got a little fat and was on to small a dose for a few months. It can also go wrong if a dog vomits or secretly spits out the pill. However, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if we are getting some resistant strains, especially down here in the south where they are active all year. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Heartworm pill and vomiting question

Brisbee 12/25/95 to- 11/18/2012     Barked: Fri Dec 2, '11 4:02am PST  Good point Adam, We live in the deep south. It can be 70 degrees in the middle of December and the sketers wake up, but if it is freezing where you live, you probably could skip a month, but I would ask your vet, he will have a better idea of the infestion in your area. I don't think a few days will cause a problem and it may be you had the meds down long enough to absorb them, again a question for your vet. Good Luck. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Heartworm pill and vomiting question

Brisbee 12/25/95 to- 11/18/2012     Barked: Thu Dec 1, '11 5:24pm PST  I would call your vet, any laps in protection can mean infection. I have heartworms. I never missed a dose, my vet thinks I may have vomited, spit it out or something and got infected. Luckily it is a mild case, my preventative kept it from getting worse and they expect my one or two worms to clear in the next six or eight months. (I have been positive about a year now) my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Spongie\'s Heartworm treatment...

Brisbee 12/25/95 to- 11/18/2012     Barked: Tue May 31, '11 12:13pm PST  I have heart worm too. I am older and my vet put me on the slow kill treatment for fear the regular treatment would kill me. Luckily I don't have many worms in my heart and hopefully they won't do too much damage. Any dog can get heartworms, all it takes is being bitten by an infected mosquito. I eat grain free food and raw meat. I am well cared for and on preventative.(No, being on HW preventative does no repress one's immune system. That is sheer fantasy) I got a little over weight or maybe vomited one of my doses and got exposed. The monthly preventative kept me from getting badly infected. The worms were not able to multiply so I only have one or two and I did not cause any other poor dogs to be at risk. I agree, not giving preventative when one lives in an area in which heartworms occur is playing Russian roulette with one's dog. Being healthy will not prevent a dog from getting infected. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Brisbee 12/25/95 to- 11/18/2012     Barked: Sat May 28, '11 6:31am PST  I would get the bigger dose. My weight went a little high so my dose was too low for a while. I got heartworms I am living with them and continuing my monthly treatment. Both my person and the company we got the preventative from were willing to pay for treatment, but due to my age and having no symptoms of the worms, my vet felt it would be better to go the monthly preventative route rather then put me through a treatment that might kill me. ( Even though I got infected, the monthly treatment kept them from multiplying or getting worse. I have very few worms, maybe as few as 1 or 2. It is important to get tested even if you are on a preventative) my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
