I have a two year old giant schnauzer that I adopted a few months ago. They have a non shedding coat like a poodle.

Any advice on how to keep him quiet during those two months after the shots? He likes to throw his toys around and chase them in the house, is that out of the question?

I was told that the real danger to the dog is when the heartworms die. The dead heartworms break up and can cause blockages and/or a pulmonary embolism. The doxycycline is supposed to shrink the adult worms and the shot kills them about 5 days after it is administered. The vet told me that with this method you know when to keep the dog quiet and reduce the chance of blockage. I've even read that some recommend exercise restriction until all the worms are dead. I feel better about letting him run around until I decide whether to do the shots or just kill them slowly.
Heartworm treatment for dogs
Posted by Code102007 on 10/26/16 at 5:41 pm
Anybody gone through heartworm treatment with their dog? Adopted a dog who was on the heartworm preventative shot for a year. The previous owner missed the shot by two weeks, tested negative. Went in early to have the annual shots done and he's now positive for heartworms. The vet is following latest protocols. 6 months of two rounds of antibiotics and then the shots to kill the adult worms. He will be on exercise restriction for two months after the shots. Any experience with this process? I don't see how I'm going to keep a two year old hyperactive dog quiet for two months.
