Thanks, Chris, it has been 3 yrs. since I have participated in this treatment for dogs.
I just wish that every time I turn around there wasn't something else for me to worry about when it comes to my cats. Susan J.

Now its 1 shot; wait a month; then 2 shots one day apart. Also protocol recommends treating with HW Prev meds PRIOR to shots in order to kill off larvae and make adult HW sterile. Finally, there is a parasite that lives inside the HW that it is now recommended be killed by doxyciclin injections prior to full HW treatment. These are nasty creatures. Problem is that they don’t really have a viable treatment for cats yet. Christiane Biagi 914-632-4672 Cell: 914-720-6888 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Katrina Animal Reunion Team (KART) www.findkpets.org
