We found out a few days after getting Missy that she had been diagnosed with heartworms last year and had not been treated. So, on May 28, she received her first treatment (shot) for heartworms and had to spend the night at the animal hospital. Missy has to be kept calm and quiet for 4 weeks which has been relatively easy to do since she is not a very active dog. Our other dog Ace, a 2 year old Puggle, is adjusting to having another dog in the house, and they get along quite well. Missy definitely lets Ace know when she's had enough of his antics! Missy will go back to the Vet on July 1 to receive her second round of shots and will have to spend 2 nights in the animal hospital. Hopefully she'll be completely heartworm free by the end of the summer! |
