I also work at a vet clinic (going on 5 years) and in all that time, have not seen one case of heartworm. But what I have seen is alot of people coming in the clinic with dogs being lethargic and not eating within 5-7 of giving the monthly heartworm pill.

My dog, a collie, was treated for heartworms soon after we got him from the pound and he was pretty bad off for a while. We are religious about the heartworm meds, but would be more than willing to go herbal if it's tried and true. He does seem kinda sluggish and uninterested after his pill and it concerns me. Can you give this to cats? The vet is trying to get me to give the cats heartworm meds too, and this could get real expensive real quick!

I use the top 1/3 of the plant for the tansy and the wormwood. Doc did post to the list a while back how to tincture black walnut. I, unfortunately, don't tincture that way....BUT, I am going to try this fall. I take the green walnut and cut it in half and tincture it.....the tincture is black - but it is the whole nut, not just the hull. I will see if I can find his post and post it again. To my knowledge, cats do not need heartworm pills......we only have heartworm for dogs......so, I can't help you there.

If you want more info to read about it - e-mail me privately - there are some great websites I could send you to learn more about it. A great book to look for is one called " Raw Meaty Bones - written by Dr. Tom Lonsdale, DVM. The basis of the diet is to feed dogs a bialogical appropriate diet....so, you feed them what they would eat in the wild. My dogs have never looked better - I don't have vet bills anylonger.
