Collie people and MDR1
« on: September 22, 2006, 12:48:14 pm »
Hi all,
I just recieved some DNA test results that Falkor is positive for MDR1

So heartgard is out as a med that my other dogs take every month.

What is the alternative. or is there one.??

Thanks
Tricia and the fur kids

How about Interceptor? Instead of ivermectin as the active ingredient (like in Heartgard), Interceptor has Milbemycin Oxime. Is that safe for Collies?
