Bad News

I have bad news.......Sonja (my foster) has tested positive for heartworm:(

The vet said that she has both adults and babies, meaning that they have already gone through a whole cycle. She has been living with them for an estimate of 8 to 12 months. He also said that could be a factor in her kidney failure as well.

My poor girl. I already spoke to the rescue and they will definately be providing the funding for her treatment. I still have vacation days left that I haven't used yet so I will be using them to stay with Sonja during the first step of the treatment.

I hope she pulls through okay.

The treatment is a lot more effective and somewhat less dangerous than it used to be. Keep us posted, please!
