Dasher's Health Thread

[dukedogsmom]

I just got finished at the vet. Dasher loves going there! Crazy thing was eating treats and soaking up all the attention. He was a very good boy while having his blood drawn. I found out his lumps are nothing to worry about so that's good. The vet said he shouldn't have a problem getting through all of this. Cross your fingers and paws on that. He goes in for his first treatment on Thursday. He'll stay there all day. Then two weeks from that, his three day treatment. After that, I've got to keep him calm for six weeks.

He is so cute when he plays. Plays like a puppy. And he gets so excited and spastic when fetching his stuffie. Can't wait unti he is well and I can take him places. I'll bet he's going to love the dog beach. PT prayers for him will always be welcome. I want him to have some happy years ahead, you know?

Awww, he sounds like SUCH a sweetie! Give him a big old bellyrub for me, will you?

[borzoimom]

That sounds like GREAT NEWS!!! I agree with the belly rub, not to mention a hug...

[Grace]

Lots of prayers and happy thoughts headed your way. Give Dasher a hug from me and my 6 cats. And feel free to take one for yourself.

Please continue the updates, and I will continue my prayers. Me and the kitties are praying that all goes well, and he can know what TRUE love is.

I dropped off Dasher this morning. Had to leave work early, zoom home, get him to the vet and then get myself to some mandatory training at 8. We're all tired as we worked all night. Dasher likes the vet so much that he didn't even notice when I was leaving. He's so good. He sits when you approach him to put on his leash. He did that for the vet tech. And yes, that made me a proud mama. I'll check back in after I pick him up this evening.

Prayers and Hugs for you two!

Dasher was a tired dog when I picked him up last night. I didn't realise there's two stages of heartworms to be killed. Yesterday's treatment was for the baby ones that are in the bloodstream. He's got pills I have to give him unril he goes in for his three day treatment. That's on the 10th. I'm kind of worried because he did get so tired yesterday. The three day one is rough, from what I've heard. I'll be glad when it's done. Then, it'll just be up to God, I guess. I hope he allows Dasher some happy, healthy years.

I'm very glad to hear he didn't mind being left at the vets and I hope that the next treatment goes well.
I'll be saying prayers for him.

I'm happy to hear Dasher did well, even though he is tired. I will keep him in my prayers that the three day treatment will go smoothly.
