Oh, Kim, I just read your update. I'm so glad Kia is up and about this morning! That's good news!!! I do hope she can come home to you tonight.

As for the Sentinel vs Heartguard vs Pro Heart 6, I guess it is all a matter of opinion. My vet won't give the six month shot as he isn't sold on it yet. In fact, he only prescribes Heartguard. I had even asked about the shot a while back for convenience as much as anything. I'm assuming Sentinel is also a monthly dosage, but I know nothing about it. Given that there have been incidents, similar to Kia's, with the Pro Heart 6, I'm glad that my vet was steering clear of it and not offering it as an option. Many dogs do fine on it, but there is that small % that don't do well and that's enough to keep me away from it at all cost! But you didn't know, and you can't beat yourself up about that! Now, you do, and you will have the opportunity to love your girl for many years to come! You are both very lucky.

Kia and you are in my prayers and will continue to be.
