How to Start Heart-Guard Pil?

alvin_augustus Member Jul 27, 2004, 1:34 AM Views: 2436 How to Start Heart-Guard Pil? HI, I have a 5 month American Cocker Spaniel (Male), I am very confuse about the heart guard pil and deworming pil. Can anyone let me know which month is the correct month to give them heart guard pil and which month is better for them to start deworm? And I am quite confused with the information from Vet, three of them tell me the different story! Please Help....

Usually vet will advise to test for heart-worm first. In my opinion, It does not necessary need to test for heart-worm before given them, Cos usually chances puppies getting heart-worm at 5-6month are low. I give my Silky monthly heart-worm on the 15th of the month. Some people recommend once a month / three month once for deworming. For me, I give my Silky three month once. I give my Silky deworming schedule are 1st of Mac, Jun, Sept, & Dec. It is easy to remember. Follow the correct dosage reccomended for your puppies according to their weight. Usually 1 tablet are for 10kg weight. E.G. If your puppies are 5kg then you only give 1/2 the tablet. Lastly, remember the annual booster injection. I set the date at 1st of January every year for the injection. So, it easy for you to keep track on the monthly heart-worm, three month once deworm & yearly booster injection loh. But, it's up to you to set the date that you think is easy to remember. Hope that help!!! Regards, Christopher (This post was edited by chrisong on Jul 27, 2004, 5:29 AM)

HI Chris, It was so bad that i did not meet you on that following day (Dogathon), I keep looking around for the silky terrier like what you have....but it too difficult to find you; I thought the one on the obedience demonstration show is you and your doggy? I just guess, somehow it is too late to say that and its too late to say hi to you on that day....

alvin_augustus Member Aug 5, 2004, 8:03 PM Views: 2295 Re: [chrisong] How to Start Heart-Guard Pil? Yalor....And am just a beginner and do not know what to do and what should get prepare for my little don....somehow..it is sounds like very difficult by my friend. Currently, I just train Don to sit, walking beside me, sit, stand (hold by me to let judges checking); he can handle all this already. Do you have any good advise to me? Maybe you may let me know some tactics to show doggy, or teach me something? My house-mate will be the handler of Don, he told me not too nervous it is just a show and just take it like a game lor...!
