What does treatment consist of?
How long does treatment last?
What signs and symptoms does a dog exhibit during treatment?
Can a dog die during heartworm treatment?
What necessary precautions must be taken when caring for a dog that is undergoing treatment?

The answer is provided by :
Amanda W :
The treatment consists of a series of injections over a few days or a couple of months.

Dogs are often tired. Some of this may be from pain meds given during treatment. It is really hard on their bodies, though. They usually feel at least a little off.

Dogs can die during heartworm treatment. I’ve only seen it happen twice. They were rescue dogs that were not in peak condition otherwise and they had been heartworm positive for years by all evidence. There’s a risk, but the risks of leaving them infected are definitely higher.

You should keep your dog quiet. Very little exercise for the entire time they are being treated. Make sure they’re eating and they’re breathing ok and not coughing. Those can be signs that something is wrong. If that happens, contact your vet.

One of my dogs had to go through treatment shortly after I got him. He did fine with it and is doing fine now. It’s a serious thing, though and shouldn’t be taken lightly. I hope I’ve helped and I hope your dog does well.

So yeah I could pretty much tell that you are a beginner so yeah, ignore the rude comments from other. I mean you gotta start from somewhere lol.

Good Luck in the Tornament.

i am looking into buying an experienced jumper that is around 10, but the women says that the vet recommended he be on adequan shots. she said that he passed a full vet check except for his flexsion in his hock and that after being xrayed he had the beginnings of arthritis. are the shots necessary or just a precaution? also roughly how much do they cost? thanks so much

The question was answered by :
twhrider :
I would highly recommend you have another impartial vet do a prepurchase exam for your peace of mind. At least have your own vet evaluate the radiographs, or send them to a board cert radiologist for an evaluation. As far as is the adequan necessary or just a precaution, that’s for the vets to answer….different horses respond in different ways, and not seeing this horse, there’s no way for people online to say "Yes he has to have it" or "No, just a precaution". As for cost, at our place vials are $65 each. Another possibility would be joint injections in his hocks. They can be pricey, but depending on the problem, can make a huge difference in the horse’s comfort level.

I have a 5 y.o. 1/2 TB mare who has some spurring on both front sesamoid bones that causes joint inflammation and discomfort when consistently worked.

The equine specialist that diagnosed her recommended placing her on a wedge shoe and starting her on Adequan injections. My "regular" vet is ok with the wedge shoe but feels I should start the mare on an oral joint supplement like Grand Flex, Figuerola’s Joint Saver, etc. instead of the injectable Adequan. If, and only if, the oral supplements don’t work, then she would recommend going with the Adequan.

She tells me that vets are finding now that horses are developing allergies to the proteins in Adequan. From what she said, these are horses that had taken Adequan without prior issue for multiple years.

Has anyone else heard of allergy development related to long-term Adequan administration?
*I* am not having allergic issues. The question was related to reports of HORSES developing an allergy to the medication, Adequan, when given to them consistently over a multiple year period.
I know that animals, people, etc. can develop allergies at any time – even to medicines they’ve taken or foods they’ve eaten before. The reason I asked the question is that my vet led me to believe that there was an inordinate number of late-term allergic reactions now being reported. A small percentage is to be expected, but the vet insinuated that it was a growing and significant problem that might indicate we shouldn’t go that route.

The question was answered by :
HorsemanshipQueen :
We have a few horses on Adequan, and have never, ever had a problem with it (and this is like 10+ years).

I would ask a different vet about giving a combination of Adequan/Legend. We’ve found it works wonders for those horses needing a little extra help.

I gave my dog his regular dose of the heartworm medication earlier this month. We just bought a pill that’s used both for heartworm and fleas. He has a lot of fleas and we would like to start the medication immediately but am not sure if I can give him more than one prescribed dose of the medicine in one month.

i wouldn’t to much of one medicine could be harmful..

I have a Pug puppy who is about 7 months old. She has shots but I want to begin giving her preventative heartworm medication as soon as possible, but I heard something about having to do it before a certain age… Is that true? I think someone told me that I need to start it by 6 months of age… Will it be just as effective if I start now? I’m hoping it’s not true about needing to get it before 6 months… I’m just wondering what the facts are.
Thanks!

The following reply is by : Chigirl *Love A Chihuahua* :
FACT- you can still start the dog on Heart worm preventative like Interceptor monthly. BUT….you need to take the dog to the VET first & have a Heart worm test done, to make sure your dog doesn’t already have adult heart worms, if your dog does, then giving a preventative instead of treatment can actually be very harmful to your dog.

You need to talk with your Veterinarian about a heart worm test & then starting the dog on a monthly preventative.

Rogue Bullies-your VET may have something different.
My VET however requires a test before the preventative. My VET doesn’t even carry heart-guard!!!
So NO I’m not wrong, you are just being an idiot.

My Dog Hurt Her Leg And We Dont Know How. What Kind Of Pain Medication Can I Give her Other Than Bufferin?

The answer is provided by :
postalbb :
You need to see a vet. You can try a baby aspirin for a dog, but nothing with tylenol, and only a baby aspirin until morning when you can call the vet. The dog needs medicine for a dog. Metacam and Tramadol are the best. Rimadyl is also given, but it damages the liver and kidneys and is not recommended by internal medicine doctors because of that side effect. Depending on the type of injury, you could try putting a cool pack on the injury for a few minutes and keeping the dog immobile. If it is something serious, you may need to go to the emergency vet tonight.

Around here, Adequan is $45 a bottle (one shot). Legend is $90. It’s not cheap, but it works. Our vet recommends using Adequan every week for the first month and Legend every other week for the first month then going down from there.

I am planning on listing them at $7 and then negoriating if they want a lower price, is $7 as a starting price to high or to low? Are there particular movies in the list that are worth more? if so which one?

Deej :
I think $7 is a decent price. I probably wouldn’t go any lower than $5. The only one I would charge more for is The Smallville Season 1. Since it’s an entire season of a tv show, I’d probably do $15 to start and maybe take $10 minimum. Good luck.
