Hi Bob,
So sorry to hear about Thunder. Good luck keeping him quiet in the house. Maybe a big bone would help!

Boy those vet bills can eat you up. We just went through $4,000 in tests for my Mom's cat!!! Ouch! That is more than a 1/3 of her annual income! Good thing she lives with us and can afford it.

Hope all goes well for you.

I'm in the San Diego area of Calif. We don't use Heartgard at all. My vet tends to be more "natural" and says it's better to treat the illness than to put those chemicals in them. Not sure heartworm is very common out here. It's worked so far, but I'd sure hate to go through what Bob is going through!!

I have a GSD and a Decker Terrier.

Bob,
That does sound like a pretty bad "treatment" -- I'm going to call him tomorrow and discuss.
I'm certainly willing to start giving them Heartgurd ASAP! And don't short haired dogs like my Decker get bit more often??

Thanks again for your knowledge!

~Carol
