laffi Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 What are the options for heartworm and intestinal worms prevention for dogs with MRD1 sensitivity? Are there any other options apart from Sentinel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tess32 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 For heartworm - the daily tablets that contain Diethylcarbamazine Citrate and not Ivermectin or related products. I did some very very recent research and Jean Dodds recommends these, saying they actually have the safest long term use. The only issue is that they MUST be given daily and it's imperative to have the blood test before first use http://www.pets-megastore.com.au/product_i...products_id=351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The vet recommended Interceptor for my senior tibbie girl. Prevents heartworm & controls roundworm, whipworm, hookworm & tapeworm. Once a month, beef flavoured tablets. I don't know how Interceptor goes with sensitivity factor you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonlime Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Our Borders get Interceptor Spectrum. Covers everything except fleas. I find this the cheapest and easiest way to cover worms and heartworm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Our Collie Roughs have been on Sentinel Spectrum for over 10 years( and before that Interceptor Spectrum) and no issues and they all have the Ivermectin Sensitivity( confirmed by DNA Test as Affected). it also covers all the intestinal worms including hydatid tapeworms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
