Using a combination of Advantage Multi with doxycycline for treatment of canine heartworm disease | VETgirl Veterinary Continuing Education Podcasts

In this VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we discuss heartworm disease in dogs. So, what do you need to know aboout heartworm disease and what's the latest in treatment for heartworm? We review a paper by Savadelis et al entitled "Clinical assessment of heartworm-infected Beagles treated with a combination of imidacloprid/moxidectin and doxycycline, or untreated". The primary purpose of the study at hand was to describe clinical and necropsy findings in dogs with experimentally-infected heartworm disease receiving this treatment regimen, compared with untreated control dogs. Does slow-kill heartworm treatment work over traditional Immiticide therapy?
