Expert Answer

Dogs are often lethargic when they have heartworm disease. They might also not be able to move around as much, and they may have an occasional cough or a loss of appetite.

Is diatomaceous earth safe for dogs?

Nadine Rich

Community Answer

Yes, it is completely safe. It's non-toxic to dogs (and cats) but is deadly to insects, so it works great for controlling internal and external parasites on dogs.

Question

Can you use candy orange slices?

Community Answer

No. Candy orange slices will make your dog sick and cause him to throw up. They have no medicinal value. He needs to be on a bland diet of chicken or turkey and rice (mostly chicken or turkey), and seen by a vet.
