We just got back from the vets. Ruby tested positive for heartworms, and we are going to start her treatment immediately. I have to give her aspirin for 20 days then start with the injections and keep her confined in a crate.

I got a call back from another rescue, one that seemed a bit more interested in working with me and placing Ruby in a home on the island. Her requisite was that Ruby have all her injections, rabies vaccine, microchip, etc before putting her in the kennels. I haven't told her that Ruby tested positive, I left a message on her machine and am waiting for her to get back to me. All the treatments that Ruby needed were going to be covered by her and her organization, but not so sure now that she has heartworms. I am willing to cover the treatment myself, but I hope she chip in a portion of it.

Keep your fingers crossed for me and Ruby please.
