I have seen 4 dogs go throught the treatment fine. (not my dogs) You just keep them in a crate for the entire treatment. Only take them out to go to the bathroom. They cannot be allowed to jump or run. Or they can die. If the dog is free I would get it and give it to a rescue. The owners shouldn't have it anyway. Sometimes they need prednisone during the treament to open their lungs more. The treatment can be expensive depending on what vet you use. Heartworms are not contagious so your other dog would be safe. |
