Heartworm And Diarrhea

[giraffez]

When giving heartworm tablets(chewable), is there a way to do it to minimize a tummy upset?

Usually I have no problems but the last dosage may have caused diarrhea

Give it with or just after a meal.

I give my heartworm with their food usually broken up in a bit of mince mixed in with their kibble. Seems like you might have found the culprit for his diarrhoea. Glad it wasn't his food afterall :)

Thanks I typically give it like 2 hours after food and it's okay every time.

Not sure whether it was really the heartworm hat cause he diarrhea in the first place but wouldn't like to have that repeated again

I use Sentinal Spectrum and it states on the packet to give with a full meal, I winder if it's the dame for all the heart worm treatments.

If you have previously had no problems with the same medication then it is unlikely to be the cause.

yeah i thought the same as well.

But on a different note, last time when I took my dog to have the annual vaccination, he was given the same brand as the one from the previous year and the same type of vaccine but had an allergic reaction to it whereas the year before was perfectly normal. very weird.
