what kind of heartguard is best?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 at 5:02 pm

I have 3 dogs. A golden retriever, a scottie and a westie. They are given heartguard since I got them. But when I sent their stool sample to the vet 2 days ago.He told me my retriever has whipworms.I was shocked cos they were on heartguard.

He told me heartguard doesnt protect the dogs against whipworm..I was stunned cos if it doesnt,why didnt he tell me?

He gave me 3 packets of panucur. I gave one packet inside the food on yesterday’s breakfast.Last night,my retriever vomitted and pooped so much.I was thinking the panacur was acting up the cleansing job.But this morning when I woke up,I saw 4 ‘lots’ of poo and pee in the kitchen where my retriever was kept for the night.2 patches was just blood and the other 2 were pee and watery stool without worms.

I called the vet and he says panacur doesnt have such effect but if it happens again,I should send my dog to the emergency room.

I will monitor again to make sure she doesnt poo blood again.
Can someone tell me. As I read that the eggs of the whipworm cannot be eliminated completely.What can I do?

And since heartguard doesnt protect her against whipworm.What is good?Interceptor or sentinel?

As I have mentioned,I have 3 dogs. The retriever is 40lbs 6 months old puppy. My westie and scottie are 6.5lbs 4 months old puppies.

I appreciate genuine advices.Thanks

I believe iverheart max will protect from whipworm but I’m not sure. You need to get with your vet to find a good product that will work for your dog. Some dogs react adversely to panacur. Whipworms can be hard to detect and hard to kill. some dogs will need surgery to totally get rid of them as they live in the ceceum.

i would make sure your animals are getting enough water because all the diarrhea and vomiting is going to lead to dehydration. i don’t really know if panacur effects animals in the way you are describing. i would suggest revolution as a heartworm preventative. it is a topical preventative that covers heartworm, fleas, and intestinal parasites, including whips. it is more expensive than heartgard though.

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
