Prevention against HEARTWORM and LYME Disease for my Doberman?
hi, i have a 5 month old doberman, i am in india, i read in many websites that one needs to give ivermectin injection to prevent dogs against heartworm disease,
can you please let me know if someone had this injected to your pets, we do not have easy access to vets, since i am in a remote area, the vets here are more oriented towards cattle so they do not seem updated,
please someone suggest when it can be given and about the lyme vaccine,
thanks in advance for your help
to prevent heartworms it is not necessary to inject ivermectin. they do have oral heartworm prevention: heartgard, interceptor, and sentinel. to get these products all you need is a negative heartworm test and a prescription from your vet. although you can order these products online, it would be best to get them directly from your vet.
as far as lyme disease, you are in a location that has a high incidence of lyme disease so using the vaccine for your dog would be a good idea. your puppy is old enough for the lyme vaccine to be administered. usually the first dose is only 1 dose of the vaccine and then repeated annually.
also, invest in a good topical tick preventative. either frontline or advantix.
