Montana dog: Pre-Heartworm treatment
Tomorrow is Montana's first day of Heartworm treatment. Here she is pre-treatment:
We got her last summer from the pound where she tested negative for Heartworm. We started her on HeartGard as soon as we got her, brought her to the vet for her checkup last week and she was positive (in 3 tests) for Heartworm! So, she starts her two day long ordeal tomorrow with 2 doses of Immiticide... :( and then we have to figure out how to keep her calm for about 6 weeks while the medicine works its magic to kill the Heartworms. She'll be back to her Border Collie mix self well before the 6 weeks, so it'll be a challenge keep her calm.
