Dasher's Health Thread

[dukedogsmom]

Bumping - to ask, how is Dasher doing these days? Any new pictures . . . .

Hey, thanks for thinking of him. He's doing so much better. I do have some new pics and a few short videos so you can get an idea of his personality .His personality is beginning to show now that he's feeling better. He's started enjoying rolls in the grass, with vigor, I might add. He's got three more weeks before we can start to play and have some fun. He's also doing much better in reference to the SA. He's becoming more secure in his surroundings. I'm only having to give him one pill for his anxiety instead of two. I give it to him at night. The peanut butter filled Kong has also been a great help. I think he'll be fine when I'm gone now. I will still continue to leave the tv on for a while, then try to wean him off that, as well. In three more weeks, my mom and I will leave just for a couple of hours to see how he does. Keep your fingers crossed. But I can tell he's becoming a much happier dog.

Val, you might have told us but when do we find out that he is heartworm free?

Oh, now that I won't find out until July That's when they test to make sure they're gone. However, he's started on the monthly medication now. I think he'll be fine. I figured we both should be granted a break, after everything I went through last year.

I guess since he survived the treatment that is the big obastacle? I agree you both deserve a break.

Thank you for the update. I think of him often and check to see if there are any updates. Got tired of waiting

I'm glad to hear he is adjusting to life in his new home. He's one lucky dog, thanks to you coming along.

Here's one thing I made of him rolling in the grass. I really like it. Going to get it printed. You might not have seen it in dog general.

I love his rolling in the grass picture. Smokey is the one who LOVES
doing that here. I am so happy to know that Dasher is starting to feel so
much at home with his surroundings.I hope things continue to keep getting
better each & every day. You both deserve to be happy & healthy.
