how often do you give the injections?
1/10 of a cc per 10# of weight, 1st of each month like clock work.
Your dog will still test positive up to two years after the process.
The treatment sterilizes the adult heartworms preventing them from reproducing the larva and the ivermectin or other preventative keeps the dog from becoming reinfected. Adult heartworms have a life span and die at different intervals thus the lag in testing negativeBe sure that you realize that the dosage is given orally and not injected!!
Be sure that you realize this is given orally and not injected. After the dosage is in the syringe, remove the needle and give orally.
