I don't like to be alarmist, but I read this and it scared me, because if my vet had recommended a 6 month shot vs monthly oral heartworm medication I would have done the same as this person. Just thought I'd share since I know there are a lot of dog owners on here. Beware Proheart 6.

    While it's great to be well informed, the necropsy reports said the drug had nothing to do with it. Any how, thank you.

    I didn't fully trust the necropsy report since it was paid for by Pfizer, but that's why I looked up other sources. It's not an isolated incident.

    Your vetrinarian was an irresponsible piece of ****, enough said.

    If they'd researched the drug and weren't just trying to push it for money, this probably wouldn't have happened. There are so many bad vets out there that it makes my head spin.
