Heartgard Plus For Dogs

Alfreda · by **Alfreda** » 24 Jul 2010, 22:06

I had to give my dog Heartgard plus (for dogs up to 25 lbs) today so I took a chewable out of the package and accidentally left it out on the counter when i went to the next room, sooo, my cat got it and ate it. haha. Funny but I dont know if it will be harmful to him or not. do you?
I didnt mean funny in a mean way, I meant it like, "aww he thought it smelt good" ha.

Anyway, It's been an hour and he seems very much like himself. no tremors, no vomiting, no anything. He's just hanging out like usual. :/

Call the vet - many medications that are safe for dogs are lethal to cats. This way you will know for sure, and won't be waiting for him to have a reaction. Some harmful things do damage to the kidneys and liver, rather than cause seizures, and that's a whole lot more subtle than tremors. Not terribly funny if he's having internal damage while you're wondering what to do.

Heartgard Plus is for heartworm prevention, also controls roundworms & hookworms but dogs also need a stomach wormer every three months, typically "Drontal", you can get this in a chewable form from your vet or local pet supply store, you need to give the appropriate dose for your dogs weight so be sure to know your dogs weight when asking for the medication. If you're still having a problem, see your vet.

PS - If your dog is worm burdened the wormers can upset their tummy so I like to give my dog some natural yoghurt to help put the good bacteria back into their stomachs when I'm worming.
