re: My lab with "heartworms"

The problem is when the worms die, they end up in the lungs and can throw a blood clot. With the shot, you can keep them quiet for four weeks and minimize the risk. With the slow kill method, you don't know when it will happen. When our lab got heartworms, it was a risk we weren't willing to take. Glad it worked out for you and your pup.

I read that too. I also read that was a risk for most forms of heart worm treatment. What I found out was that you weren't supposed to get their heart rate up. It had more to do with elevated heart rates as opposed to the type of medication.
