Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Heartgard Dosage? Sun Aug 21, 2011 3:40 pm | |
| I know that there's one (or more) topics already floating around regarding heart worm prevention, but I've been looking and don't seem to run across any. I'm horrible at searching for stuff Anyways, I have a question. I ran out of the 26-50lb dosage for Kody. At his last vet visit in June he weighed 47lbs. I'm pretty sure that he's gained a pound or 2 since, but I haven't gotten him weighed since. I have the 51-100lb dosage that I give Mya and today is the day that they're supposed to take their pill. My question is...should I give him the 51-100lbs dosage? It's a 4lb difference if he hasn't gained anything. Or should I order the lower dosage and wait another week or so before giving it to him? If I do that, I'll probably only be able to give it to him for another month or two because he'll be at 51lbs any day now (if he isn't already). Do you think it will hurt him to give him the higher dosage if he's a few lbs under? I can go get him weighed sometime next week at Petsmart, but that scale is a little iffy to me. Going to vet the just to get him weighed unfortunately really isn't an option. What would you guys do? thanks! |

| I'd cut it in half. That will give him the 26-50lb dosage. I buy the 51-100lb ones and cut them in half for my skinner dogs (Cheyenne and Seamus.) _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

| I give Iverhart Plus and the dosage for 26 to 50lbs is 136 mcg ivermectin and 114 mg pyrantel as pamoate salt. Don't know if they have the same thing in them, but if the 51 to 100 dosage is twice that I would think you could just cut it in half. _________________ -Sara |

| I obviously have "duhhh" moments every now and then. The thought about cutting the pill in half never even crossed my mind! A face palm smiley would be perfect right now..LOL!!! That's what I'll do. Thank you ladies |
