Question by purple03: Is it bad that I forgot to give my dog his heart worm pill for the month?
Well i was supposed to give my dog his Iver heart Plus pill that the vet told me i had to give him once every month to prevent certain kinds of worms…..and the next day i remembered, so i gave it to him then. But the vet told me I’m only supposed to give it to him on that certain day (which was the 13th) and i gave it to him on the 14th. Is that bad for him? And if its not, am i supposed to give him his next pill on the 13th or the 14th? i would really appreciate if you guys answered my question….thanks!

Answer by tutock
First, yes it’s old enough. does your dog show any signs of tapeworms or any other type of worm or parasite? has it recently been infested with fleas? if you answer no to both questions, then don’t give to your dog as it causes the dog to have an upset stomach and is unnecessary. Signs of tapeworms- small white or yellowish things that resemble grains of rice around the dogs anus (butthole) and/or in their bedding. these are not the worms itself, but egg sacks…. sorry, i’m typing with one hand as i have burnt 3 of my fingers on the other hand.
