I have a golden lab of 6 years named Buddy. He has been diagnosed with heartworms once before, and had been treated, and been on Heartguard ever since.
Now, recently, his once a month Heartguard treatment was a week late. It was forgotten to be given to him. My question is, is this week enough to have caused any damage? Could heartworms have formed into adults in this period of time? I am just a bit worried of the situation, a bit of a nagging paranoia, thats all. I am hoping that in this time nothing too drastic could have formed.
Thanks.
