How much heartworm medication should I give my Dog?
You must discuss this with your vet because treating with a preventative if the dog has adult heartworms, could make the dog very sick. Plumbs Veterinary Drug Formulary [location 39132 Kindle edition] suggests signs of toxicity are most likely to occur with doses in excess of 1 mg/kg body weight (equivalent to 1,000 micrograms per kg body weight.)
What happens if you miss a heartworm preventative dose?
Your dog’s risk of developing heartworm depends on when the dose was missed, how many doses were missed, the medication used and how common heartworm is in your area. If it has been less than two weeks since the missed dose, give your dog the dose immediately.
