I went for my checkup and it is always a big deal when I check negative for HW. You see I had a very bad case when I came here as a foster. We also discovered something my vet is still talking about and I tell people and pups, too.
Before going through the tough treatment it is customary to take some Heartworm meds to kill the microfilaria in the blood stream and be tested to make sure they are dying. Every time I went to the vet my numbers would go up and it was a puzzle to our vet. Finally mom and the vet discovered since I am such a gulper that I wasn't even chewing the Heartguard up....and well they might have just been going through my system whole and not doing their job. As soon as mom started giving me the chewable pills in pieces and watching me chew each bite they began to work.
I like to remind people to do this for their pups ....it is a good thing!
My favorite thing to do lately much to my pawrents dismay is go swimming, get all wet and then go lie behind the rose bushes where it is shady and get covered with mulch! I am a mulch magnet....just spreading it around for mom, thankyou very much! I don't know why she doesn't appreciate my hard work.
I am celebrating my one year anniversary here in my furever home. Time has flown by, but time does fly when you are having fun!
I still have my little personality of a nervous girl, but I have so much fun with Trooper and Holly and get kisses all the time. I know I am loved and I will not have to worry ever again.
