 Heartworm disease is a serious illness that can rob your dog of its health and even its life.
Heartworm larvae are transmitted by infected mosquitoes that bite the dog and deposit heartworm larvae on the dog's skin. The larvae migrate through the tissue and into the bloodstream of the dog where they continue developing. By the time clinical signs of heartworm disease appear, the disease can already be in its advanced stages. Heartworms spend their adult lives in the right side of the heart and the large blood vessels that connect the heart to the lungs. The adult worms block the heart and major blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs, liver, and kidneys and can grow up to 12 inches long. Heartworm disease has been reported in all 50 U.S. states. HEARTGARD® Plus (ivermectin/pyrantel) can help prevent heartworm disease. |
Side Line Information
htttp://www.dogsadversereactions.com/moxidectin/hweditorial.html about heartworm vaccination.
There is a prescription injectable heartworm preventative for dogs that remains in their system for 6 months or longer (monthly preventatives are only in their system for up to 72 hours.) It is comprised of a ‘time-released’ formula of microspheres.
If your dog has an adverse reaction, THERE IS NO ANTIDOTE, or treatment plan that has been published.
By presenting information (verifiable by its' source) on this site, along with accounts posted as they were sent to us “in the guardians opinion,” we hope to educate the public, and help you prevent any dog from suffering the potential side effects of this drug. We encourage you to contact anyone that has posted to this site for more information relating to their specific case.
Only through public awareness can pressure be brought to bear on those responsible for these drugs, so that a successful treatment plan, or a safer drug can be developed.
This web site is available to discuss dog guardian's stories, good, bad or otherwise, from any dog guardian, or professional, with any experiences or information about new drugs.
Do the FDA statistics on new drugs accurately represent reality?
That question requires further investigation.
The FDA has admitted that incidents of adverse reactions are under-reported.
It takes time and paperwork for an adverse reaction to be reported, researched and recorded. How much time? This question hasn’t been answered yet.
Many dog guardians are being told by their veterinarian that they are not aware of any adverse reactions to this injection.
However, Dr. Hampshire reported to Jennifer Fiala of DVM Magazine on 11/1/03 that there are reactions and deaths related to a six month heartworm preventative injection.
The 1996 amendments to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) mandate publicly accessible “electronic reading rooms” with agency FOIA response materials and other information routinely available to the public, with electronic search and indexing features. Unfortunately we do not know how up to date these records are. It takes time to pull up the Cumulative/Annual Report from the FDA site. So in “our opinion,” this may be why some veterinarians and dog guardians have not investigated reactions being reported to the FDA. It has been noted, and it is generally agreed among statisticians, “that most figures of this type only reflect 10% to 15% of the actual cases.”
Senior dogs appear to be more susceptible to adverse reactions with this drug.
In the clinical testing of this drug, deaths were reported by the manufacturer.
Therefore, it is often assumed that an older dog is simply manifesting the signs of aging, when; in fact, possibly it was a drug reaction that precipitated a chain of events that caused or accelerated the death. There may be a substantial number of cases of adverse reactions to this injection that go unreported for this reason.
It is also important to note that, in the majority of the reports of adverse events presented on this website, the veterinarian prescribing this injection either failed to give warnings about the drug's potential side effects or told the client “they were insignificant, just talk from the Internet, that the drug was safe and there were no side-effects.”

Side Line Information - While nitrogen is an essential component in healthy soil, high concentrations of it can cause grass to turn yellow or brown. Urine is naturally high in nitrogen and alone can cause grass burns. However, lawn fertilizer also contains nitrogen. An excess of either or a combination of urine and fertilizer may result in an overdose of nitrogen, thus "burning" the grass. Salts and other compounds in dog urine may also contribute to grass burn. In addition, highly acidic or alkaline urine may alter pH of the soil in that area of your yard, adversely affecting the grass there.
It may seem like female dog urine causes more trouble to the lawn than male dog urine. This is simply because most females tend to squat and urinate in one place, while many males lift the leg and "mark" upright objects in multiple locations. The composition of a dog's urine does not vary that much between male and female dogs, especially when spayed or neutered. |

Unlike indoor cats that instinctively use litter boxes, dogs kept indoors during the day have to wait until the homeowner returns before they can be walked in a public park to relieve themselves.
This P-pole for an indoor dog comprises of a rectangular tray equipped with upturned fringes and a vertical pole located in its center. A disposable absorbent urine pad can be placed underneath of the first layer of the tray and the vertical pole. The second layer of the pee tray (which collects urine) can be removed and is secured by the grooves attached at the 2 sides of the platform. Alternatively, this male pee tray can be converted into a normal pee tray by removing the pole attachment. With that, it is suitable for both male and female dogs/cats. During use, the trained dog may raise its leg and relieve itself against the P-pole. The urine runs down the pole, accumulates in the tray and is absorbed and retained by the lining. Once the owner returns and notices the dog has relieved it self against the P-pole and the pad sufficiently soiled to be removed and discarded. |
