Heartworm Treatment

Lily underwent treatment for heartworms on Thursday and spent that night in the hospital before returning to our foster home for bed-rest and the beginning of her 4-week recuperation time on Friday evening. She is clearly sore and tired at the moment, preferring to rest quietly in our bedroom most of the time, away from the people and pets in the rest of the house. She is on some pain medication and her back & side seem especially sore. Hopefully she will be feeling much better very soon!!

Heartworm Positive

This beautiful girl is a happy, friendly Aussie/Sheltie-type mix who we became acquainted with about a week ago, thanks to a rescuer from Greyhound Rescue Austin. Unfortunately, our rescue group learned soon after that she is heartworm positive (early stages). Our foster home will serve as Lily's first rehab home as she undergoes heartworm treatment over the next week. She should be as good as new when the treatment is completed!
