Hayden caught a baby squirrel this morning and tried eating it!! I managed to get it away from him, but he did eat some of it. The problem is, I completely forgot to give him his heartworm pill! I gave it to him right away this morning, do you think I need to take him to the vet in a week or two to have him tested?

Heart worms are spread by mosquitoes, the worse he can get is intestinal worms which is easy to get rid of.

Ashley is correct, he won't get heartworms from a squirrel. Watch his stool though for worms.

I was just worried that if the squirrel maybe had them and then passed it to him haha ... i'll keep a look out for it! thanks ladies

how many days passed were you on forgetting his pill?

probably 2 weeks

i think you are "ok" 15days after, i know a few here do the pills every 45 days and not the 30 because its still in the system that long, just make the 30days from today and not the old date you had, thats what we had to do when for the first time ever i forgot the june ones with all my birthday stuff going on!

I actually have an app on my iphone 4S that reminds me when it's time for heartgard plus, and another app that reminds me when its time for frontline plus, free in the app store! And you can set if for multiple dogs. Mine barks at me lol

Once a month I receive an email reminding me to have the kidz pop their heartworm meds.

There is actually an app I have, its really convenient, it sends you a text, notification on facebook and a email when its time for shots, meds etc, Ill charge up my phone and see what it is if anyone needs it
