Hey there! Here is a photo of me relaxing. It is what I do best - passing the time as I move through my heartworm treatment. I am dreaming of my forever home. Could it be yours?
It was a beautiful day yesterday at my Virginia foster home, and I enjoyed wandering around a little bit. I am doing well! And tomorrow is my first heartworm shot. Here are the details from the American Heartworm Society's protocol: • Administer appropriate heartworm preventive • Administer first melarsomine injection, 2.5 mg/kg intramuscularly (IM) • Prescribe prednisone 0.5 mg/kg BID first week, 0.5 mg/kg SID second week, 0.5 mg/kg EOD for the third and fourth weeks • Decrease activity level even further: cage restriction; on leash when using yard. I am not looking forward to any of that, but I am looking forward to being heartworm-free! Please keep me in your thoughts tomorrow. Thank you! And keep coming back to check on my blog.
Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog! As you might know, I tested positive for heartworms, so am on medical hold for a while. About once a week, I will post about my adventures in my foster home! Although there won't be a whole lot of adventures because I have to stay quiet during the treatment. :( Here is the first picture my foster mom saw of me. This was my shelter picture, before I had my painful left eye removed. Check out my tie! I also had a longer hair-do. My foster mom got me a stylish short haircut soon after I arrived in her home. Please check back in to see how I am doing. Thank you! And, if you have any questions for me, post them in the comments section!
When I first arrived at my foster home, I wasn't sure what was going on. I had been a stray, and then ended up in a shelter in South Carolina, and then traveled to Virginia to my foster home. Lots of changes in a short period of time. There were three other dogs in my foster home, and I was nervous! When they would come close to my expen, I would growl. Not every time, but sometimes. Enough growling, though, that my foster mom thought when my time comes to be adopted, I should be the only dog in my forever home. Now, I wouldn't mind being the only dog in my forever home. I will tell you that. I wouldn't mind having all the attention and all the belly rubs. I don't really need to be with other dogs. But my foster mom has been watching me with the other dogs in the house. And I haven't growled at them for weeks! They seem like pretty good dogs to me, and I like them. So now my foster mom says it is OK if...
