You should never give a heartworm positive dog heartworm preventive medicine. That will make the condition worse. The dog needs to be treated by a vet who will prescribe poison that will kill the worms. Heartworms are long skinny worms that invade and feed on the dog's heart and slowly kill the dog. But it can be cured.
