| heartworms
took my foster girl to the vet this am. I was told when I got her she was a low positive, today she is very much a high positive. :( Poor baby. I think we are going to go ahead with treatment but I have heard from 2 different people heartworm treatment is bad bad bad. One was my vet and he said in 6 years he has lost one pup to treatment and it was 30 mins after the injection and it was a Rottie and the lady that is prez over the rescue said another lady just treated her foster and she almost lost him. Is the treatment that bad or are Rotties more susceptible? They did an xray too and she is a catergory 2. Her heart was enlarged and her pulmonary artery was enlarged. The vet didn't seem too concerned over that though since apperently it is not uncommon. Any information or links would be appreciated. Thanks! Oh yeah, she is 3 years old and already spayed. |
