Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, she most likely will be fine. Just keep an eye on her and let your veterinarian know if you notice anything abnormal in her such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, decreased activity, unsteadiness, and or lethargy. She is likely to be fine. Good luck and have a good night!

    I presume that Bella was given a Proheart injection by your veterinarian. The medication in Proheart and Interceptor are different medications. Proheart was tested with other antiparasitic medications and they did not find any interactions, so I would not anticipate any problem with giving Interceptor. If you notice any problems, be sure to contact your veterinarian to report a possible interaction. I hope that was helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
