LD got neutered and microchipped yesterday. When I picked him up in the afternoon they told me he was heartworm positive. I have never had a dog with this problem. They told me to wait a week to begin treatment so he could recover from his surgery. The treatment is an injection in his back and then another injection 24 hours later. He has to stay at the vet from next Wednesday morning to Thursday afternoon. Then a recheck in a week. The vet said his blood work was excellent and his heart and lungs sounded good so they felt he would be OK. She said they had never lost a dog there yet.
I am still worried though. He's such a happy little guy, I hate to see him going through all this.
Can anyone let me know what to expect? I know I have to keep him quiet but that really shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for any insight you can provide me with so when it happens I won't be like - WHAT IS HAPPENING?
