Mine have never gotten sick from the heartguard. Exactly what do you mean by sick?? Vomiting, diarrhea etc. Also are you using the chewable or the pill??
We are giving him the chewable. He vomited once last night but no other symptoms. His personality was just "different" than usual. Maybe it's just a coincidence.coco said:Mine have never gotten sick from the heartguard. Exactly what do you mean by sick?? Vomiting, diarrhea etc. Also are you using the chewable or the pill??
He took it @ about 8 a.m. and I believe he vomited @ about 9 p.m. last night. It was almost one of those episodes where he ate too fast or drank too much water. Maybe I'll tt the vet at his next checkup on the 18th.Miakoda said:How long after you gave him the Heartguard did he vomit?
My big concern (on top of him being sick) is that due to the vomiting, he's not going to be protected against the heartworms since he's throwing up the pill. Once he vomits it up, it's no longer in his system (or enough in his system).
Howver, since heartguard has some added ingredients obviously to make it yummy, you might want to try giving him the generic (Iverheart--btw, is the SAME exact thing, just cheaper) as it's a tiny little pill you could hide in something different. It might be an ingredient in the Hearguard that's causing an adverse reation in him.
