Heart worm shot?

I use Ivermectin liquid also. Can do my dogs for 2+ years ( because that is when it expires from the day I bought it) for $40. Do not think I would inject them though!

No, I don't have the article but it's been posted here several times. The information was pertaining to one of the scientists involved with Heartguard that left the company due to being forced to cover up resistance to it. Personally, I think it's because the dose is too low for some areas.

NEVER EVER (!!!!) inject a dog with it! It is for ORAL use only in dogs.

I don't!!!! I buy the injectable, but I use it 30:1 ( only use 1/10th of a CC to 3 CC of water/oliveoil/etc), and have a chart for weight, and just squirt it in a hot dog or a piece of bread covered in PB or cheese!
