Four of my five have had Pro-Heart injections. When the vet first suggested we try it on Dazzi, she never mentioned any negative reactions and never did a sensitivity test on any of them.
I am ashamed to admit that someone did post something about negative reactions right here on Pet Talk not all that long ago and I did not read it completely becasue I have one of the slowest connections that exist on my computer. I did ask the vet again about her feelings on Pro-Heart as the dogs each came up with needing it this spring. She again said she had never seen a negative reaction and she felt that a slight reaction would be better than not remembering to give a pill and having your dog contract heartworm. Obviously she is not up on what those reactions can be.
I do have a lousy memory but I have decided that I would rather working harder at "remembering" than risking any of my dogs lives or health.
Thanks Kimmy and thanks Karen and Paul for giving us this forum to let others know of problems, risks and giving each other support as we go through these type of things that other people who are not pet owners can not even begin to understand.
