I haven't got it done yet, but you can find more info here : http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...l=titre+testing And surely those that had it done could answer more of your question about it. cheers

I wouldn't trust any of those supermarket wormer. Apparently they don't do a great job. What do you mean "apparently" There's nothing wrong with Dimmitrol, you just have to remember to give it every day. What do you mean by Spectrum? if you mean Sentinel Spectrum, it does heartworm so why would consider the needle as well? I don't know of anyone who uses the needle anymore, too many risks. I don't consider it anymore. as for this: if you mean Sentinel Spectrum, it does heartworm so why would consider the needle as well? Thats what the vet was recommending if I was to vaccinate, BUT I'm not going too.(It would still have worked for everything else but the heartworm as it would not have been given every month). The only reason I was considering the hw vacc. was that I had never heard about it before & thought it would have been good, but now I know better thanks to lots of infos regarding the risk in this thread.

no need too, have decided against it.

About the cats, I have spoken to my vet & if they never have access to the outdoors all you really need to do is your worming every 3 months. Most here on DOL, have done a titre test on their dog, which indicate how much immunity their dogs have agaisnt some specific 'disease', and only vaccinate if the levels are too low to protect the dog, otherwise they don't, also titre testing apparently only need to be done once from what I read, correct me if I'm wrong experienced one.

Thanks, will read everything once I've put the kids to bed.

Have you got any written info somewhere for my own education? Thanks

Yes I would never vaccinate my dogs against heart worm (and definitely not with an ivermictin sensitive breed like aussies). For aussies the only heartworm recommended is Sentinel Interceptor or Spectrum. I think there also some daily pills that don't contain any -ictin but I don't remember the name. Just do a search about heartworm 'vaccine' and you will find a lot of threads about it. Yes I know Laffi I will inquire about my vet to see if its safe, mine 'ours' used to be wormed with something totally different, can't recall the name, will have to ask Belinda, they had shown no sensitivity in particular apparently. A lot of vets don't consider heartworm 'vaccine' unsafe. A lot of vets would also advise to vaccinate (C5) yearly . Not my new one, my last one yes, I had book for a normal booster but the vet decided to give C5 which I only realize once I paid & saw the detailed invoice last time I went there! I meant any yearly boosters (not just C5). I don't think dogs should be vaccinated yearly. Mine aren't - I couldn't find that particular ingredient, will do a thorough search later cant remember its name & will ask the ingredient of the heartworming vacc. to my vet in the morning.

To get your dog vaccinated against heartworm & do the spectrum every 3 months instead of doing it every month?

1 thing I have tried with Axle as he thought of himself as a hottie at some stage was to grab a bit of the 'skin' behind his neck(not hurting him obviously) and gave him the command to sit, with my hand still holding up onto some of his skin, than tell him to leave it. It didn't take long that the hottie left him & he became well behave in that type of situation All the best.

I use Corel Paint Shop Pro 12

The effect is called Hot Wax Coating

Couldn't help myself and try the same setting on Ziva Love the result!!

My sunset Heaps aren't posting that much anymore missing seeing your pics around

Yes she is, brown mink girl, I'll have her half brother in a couple of week, he is a blue point tonk.

Bit of a boring moment as all I wanted to do with Ziva was play, but she had something else in mind... She's sleeping like an angel

Thanks for the updates!! Love the pics!!

I was hoping to take shot of Axle & Roxy when they were getting their stitches out but had no one else with me that could have help to watch one of them while I took photos, but might be able to get a shot of my kitten getting vaccinated, if they let me

Great shot terranik! Nice and SHARP LOL
