Okay, so if possible I’m going to switch Lily onto Sentinel. I have a few questions about it:
1. Should I use Sentinel or Sentinel Spectrum? The only difference is that Sentinel Spectrum also prevents tapeworm. I don’t want to do any prevention I don’t need to, but is that worth it?
2. On this article on Dogaware.com: http://dogaware.com/articles/wdjheartwormprevention.html#dosage
It suggests giving .05 mg of milbemycin oxime per pound of body weight to prevent Heartworm, also stating that the dosage is much higher to prevent intestinal worms. The size of Sentinel/Sentinel Spectrum that Lily would be getting, the 8.1-25lb size, contain 5.75 mg of milbemycin oxime, which is over 10 times than she needs to prevent Heartworm! Is that okay? Should I give the one for the lower size?(2-8lbs) Lily is 10 pounds, BTW.
If anyone could give me input on these questions, that would be great. Thanks!
