My Lab currently has heart worms, we've treated him once before and we had to lock him up for 4 weeks. This is an outside dog and it was terrible. I'm not sure what we will do this time b/c I don't want to crate him for another 4 weeks and he his 12 years old and money is really tight right now.

You can try black walnut hull and wormwood tincture. We've been doing that for a stray we took in about 4 years ago that tested positive. I get it from the vitamine shoppe and put a few drops in his food. It's not going to eliminate them, but combined with a preventative like heartguard, I believe it helps a lot in keeping them from getting worse. It certainly has helped with his symptoms, he used to cough and wheeze back when we first got him
