To Doug Scholtes: > I have just started giving Paulie heartworm medicine for the past >3 mos.. He now runs when he sees the little container and oral dropper. >...does it harm the effectiveness of the drug to mix it with something? >And if it doesn't, suggestions? Doug are you giving the daily ro the monthly medication? The monthly medication (ivermectin) can be mixed with a sweet-tasting vehicle by your vet, which is called propylene glycol. It won't harm the effectiveness, and Paulie will like it... -- Bruce Williams, DVM, DACVP Department of Veterinary Pathology [log in to unmask] Armed Forces Institute of Pathology [log in to unmask] Washington, D.C. 20306-6000 (202) 782-2600/2602 [Posted in FML issue 1163]
