(FYI ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone) I think I'll go with what the experts say over anecdotal internet message board reports...
we did the slow kill with our rescue dogs and it was recommended by our vet.. and it worked..
I think ill continue doing what was recommended and what works.

What people don't realize is that this method isn't actually killing adult worms. You're just killing the microfilariae (baby worms) and preventing any new infective larve from being deposited in the blood. The adult worms are just running their natural course in the heart and major vessels until they die - damaging the heart all along the way.
This method is also suspected to be a cause for ivermectin resistant heartworms in endemic areas (like LA).
