Does anyone know the difference between treating with Melarsomine (Immiticide) and Ivermectin? When I talked to my Vet on the phone, she only mentioned the Melarsomine, which I looked up and found out was the Immiticide. I'm trying to find out some information on Google right now, but I'm not finding anything in layman's terms. I want to be able to have some idea of what I'm talking about at the Vet's office tomorrow...
She did mention that the Melarsomine doesn't kill the adult worms, I think? Just the microfilaria? So it wouldn't be an effective treatment if Koda has adult heartworm, right?
