Dog having side effects to heartgard heartworm medication
Is it possible that my dog (9yo male neutered Chocolate Labrador retriever) is having a reaction to heartgard plus? I gave him one yesterday morning and by last night he was having obvious gastrointestinal problems. Vomitting, abdominal pain, uncomfortable, lethargic, etc. This happened once before and I took him to the emergency center and they could not find anything wrong. They xrayd, ultrasound, blood work, and the liver numbers were elevated, that is all. IF so, how long will it last to leave his body? He is allergic to penicillan, otomax, and bees. The heartgard box has no medication insert to tell me of possible side effects. |

Betta fish swimming in circles
My betta fish has been swimming in a spinning motion and has been finding comfort in lying on the gravel (with its head kind of digging in it). He just started doing this a few hours ago. I cleaned my fish bowl (which I hadn't cleaned in 3 weeks) and I'm not showing that its responding any differently. Is it dying?
