My daughter got a rescue dog - med size and it is heartworm positive. Not in a late stage but does anyone know what dose of Ivermectin she should have at 30 lbs.? And how often should she have the treatment. The vet is saying once a month. That is like a heartworm preventative it seems to me. How is it going to get rid of the heartworms? She has already put a lot of money into this dog since she was running a fever, had a good case of yeast infections and has to have med for all of this. To make it GSD related, she kept my GSD when I had to move and couldn't take him. She doted and loved on him until he went to the Rainbow bridge and we all still miss him.
