About Theresa
Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.
Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.
Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

There is only one brand of VRM2 - its made by Systemic Formulas and is part of their 'Bio-Challenge' line.
Their website and many others stress to NOT start using this product unless you can see it through to the full course of treatment which is 4 –6 cycles of 3 capsules VRM2 of 10 days on, 5 days off. A bottle holds 30 capsules - and the bottle also says to adjust for weight, so 2-3 capsules am or pm/4-6 capsules a day. So you are looking at the high end of 6 capsules a day for 10 days, then off for 5 - so two bottles for 1 cycle - and 6 cycles is recommended, so you are looking at 12 bottles to treat your dog for the recommended schedule. Also recommended while on the VRM2 treatment from the same company is their heart supplement [Biofunction H] and their kidney support [Biofunction K].
Please read up on heart worm and supportive care if you wish to treat your dog for heart worm:

You can do more than one round if you want but, if given the right amount for the size of the dog (1/2 to 3 capsules) ONCE a day for 14 days straight will cure heartworm.
For ex: my 7 lb dog was given 1/2 a capsule for 14 days.(DO NOT EXCEED 3 capsules) No red meat or pork because it will absorb the product and not work as well. Give it pref. in the late afternoon or eve.
I mixed it in a small amount (1-2 tbsp of chopped chicken) so you only have to do one round if given the right amount at the time. I tried to break it down in a earlier post of how much per size of dog, but in some cases if there are still symptoms, you will have to adjust the amount given.
eg: if you are giving one capsule for 14 days and still have symptoms, (or a positive blood test), you may have to do another run of 1 1/2 to 2 capsules per day
If you plan to do a blood test after, wait for 12 wks. then test so you do not get a false positive. You can google more on how that works and what a false positive is.
Please note that it only took one run to cure my dog. It is getting the amount right.
Make sure you get a blood test first and know your dog is positive for heartworm.

Thank you for your feedback. I do not have first hand experience with this product, so before posting this advice I did extensive research and read up on many others who used this product with good result.
The dosage I posted was for an 82 pound dog. If your 7 pound dog took 1/2 capsule, then an 82 pound dog would get 6 capsules a day. Breaking the dose in half - 3 capsules am and 3 capsules pm is easier on the dog/not as rapid a die off of heart worms than the full dose at one feeding; this is not my opinion, it is what others using the product have done. The company recommends the treatment schedule - I suspect to control the toxic effect of the massive die off of the worms- again - JMHO; that you had results in tailoring the schedule is helpful information for all - thank you for sharing what worked well for you and your dog :-)

The 3.5 cap 2x day sounds right for the research I have done on this product, but since you are a client /have purchased this product directly from the company, why don't you call them directly and ask for clarification on the dose? As a client you are entitled to this support and I know we would all like to have an answer "straight from the horses mouth".

Given that the advice on VRM2 is confusing, and feedback from direct users is often delayed, why don't you call the manufacturer directly and pose your questions? While there are a few retailers for the product, the manufacturer is Systemic Formulas

Good luck and please report back - I am sure many would appreciate the answer you find to your question.

I have also used Mullein/Hyssop/Comfrey tea for animals with coughing. (Calves, to be exact.) It helped them a lot! You may have trouble finding all of those herbs, but even just the mullein would be helpful. Most health food stores would have it in tea bags. I would give it several times a day, a cup worth each time for a large dog. (It is mild tasting enough that it could be used in place of water. If you want to use the colloidal silver, just add it to the mullein tea.)
I hope he feels better soon!

My best advice to you is to take your dog to the vet and get a diagnosis. Once you know *why* your dog is coughing you can then find an appropriate remedy. Your dog may be coughing due to heart worms, or congestive heart failure - two very different conditions that require different treatments and home remedies. It is best to find out why he is coughing and then search out the remedy. JMHO!

I have done searching to find what has worked for others [there are forums and threads out there but to respect EC's policy I will not link them or drive traffic to another community ] and the dosage is different than what worked for you. Can you tell me when you were advise to do 10 days only what this was based on? The bottle does say 1-3 capsules for a human but does recommend cycling the treatment. And because it does kill the worms I cannot agree with you maintaining activity level rather than reducing it. I think that anyone choosing to use this product needs to do their own homework and research to arrive at their own conclusion as to what is best for their particular pet.

Mine is 9 years old and weighs 103 pounds last vet weighing. I've been using Bandit's Buddies program but am weary of the expense and multiple capsules I have to mix into her raw food every day although it is a lot less expensive than the the vet method and doesn't damage her health like the vet method as well as the fact that she can exercise on the BB protocol. She has been difficult to clear because of the fact that we live in mosquito central and she has a genetic immune problem that will eventually kill her called degenerative myelopathy. So I am hoping for something simpler as I have enough to deal with trying to help her fight the DM.
Thanks!

You will need to read through the threads and determine for yourself what dose you think is appropriate. That said, you might also get effective and inexpensive treatment by googling "ivermectin dosage for heartworm positive dogs" and also read up:
Good luck and let us know what you decide to do!
