Is administering antibiotics prior to a Heart worm treatment normal? General Dog Discussions
My 9 year old male Chow mix tested postitive for heartworm. He is showing NO signs of the disease (no coughing, vomiting, weight loss, ect) so I think we've caught it early enough to start a treatment.Before he can start the heartworm treaments the Vet prescribed 100mg of Doxycycline twice daily and 5mg of Prednisolone every other day. Reading up on these two my question is.. Is this a normal practice?
