Shawna,

In light of everything that’s going on is exactly why I’m going to stop the milk thistle until I can get a better picture. I don’t want to think I’m already going against my feeling on heart worm 12 months of the year and then have the milk thistle interfere one way or the other.

I think what has happened with Turbo and Losul has been a real wake up call for me especially that I now live in the South. I was continuing to do what I did all my life living in NYC and NJ. I’m no longer going to do that. I’ve realized that what I was doing was basically playing russian roulette. I called my vet and told them how long I had stopped and he said to continue to give the Sentinel monthly and he’ll test all the dogs for heart worms in 6 – 7 months. At their physicals they were all fine and that since we have had such an unbelievable cold winter this year the probability is that they are fine but insists they be re tested in six to seven months.
