I moved back  to South Carolina after being in  Montana for ten years.  Brought my dog here and my vet wanted to put my dog on heartworm meds, and give all these vaccinations,which I didn't do in Montana because the environment is a little different.  I declined vaccines that were not necessary as well as heartworm.  The first year I was back, I didn't put my dog on anything, even flea/tick meds.  Just my decision.  

This year, I did all my research before the yearly visit for rabies vac and again was asked to have vaccinations for laptops (and others) and heartworm.  I had read a lot about heartworm and its benefits and side effects and decided to get the lowest dose and only for the months when I felt it was necessary.  Anyway, I wanted to post the article that really sealed the decision for me regarding heartworm medication so anyone that wonders about giving your dog this medication, can be informed on heartworms and treatment.  It may change your mind.  I wasnt for it or against it when I moved back  here.. I just wanted to know why vets in Montana didn't ever try to pressure me into heartworm medication and why they seem to think you are abusing your dog and just asking for your dog to die if you don't give it to them.  It's very interesting and actually explains the disease in a very easy way.  ​Enjoy more reading!!!!

Very interesting article!  I do give my girls and boys heartworm meds though.  There are many vets that will tell you it is not absolutely necessary.  

 
Hi, there is a flea and tic med called revolution. It covers all the worms as well and flea eggs. Its more expensive but well worth it as, frontline and advantage dont work anymore bcuz like my vet said, the fleas have become immune to those meds. However, I personally think its wise to keep your dog on heartworm prevention bcuz, heartworm can be deadly and its a simple thing to do for her well being. And much cheaper than the vet bills once shes contracted it. Thank you for sharing this article.

Hi Is the new revolution in pill or tube to put on the...I quit giving Ruby Trifectus cause did not want a posion inside to kill outside bugs...I been putting diometrix earth powder on her...seems to work.....its 30 million year old shrimp and minute creatures bones crushed to powder they say it rips and slashes the insides of the bugs and parasites that can cause harm to pets to kill them.

Hi, sorry for the slow response but the revolution comes in a liquid just like advantage and Frontline and you apply it the same way.

  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
